The curse of this hobby is always wondering if you need more of something.... and so I find myself constantly debating whether I’d need more flow in my new tank build.
70g tank, dims are 36x24x18.
Current plan for powerheads are:
1x mp40
1x mp10
I’ve been curious about gyre flow and so I’m wondering of I should add a maxspect xf230 or would it be overkill? While I have no doubt that my current plan would be able to churn out the required gph, I’m thinking more varied, multi-directional flow is good?
Some additional info that could be relevant to this question:
- Yes, I plan to have a 1-2” sandbed
- corals would be a mixed reef with a balanced variety of LPS and SPS.... and some softies.
Thoughts?
