2x Nero 7 in a 5’ Mixed reef

[crabgrass]

Exploring powerhead options. Optimally want gyres, but understand there is a lot more maintenance required. Will two Nero 7 create enough flow at opposite sides of the tank (170 gallon, 60”)?

Is it a peninsula tank or a regular view tank? And what do you plan on keeping in it? Mixed reef, sps dominant, lps, softie tank?

Regular view. Mixed reef (LPS with some Sps)

That's a relief. I hear those peninsula tanks are a sob to get flow without putting WaveMakers on a viewing panel. I think to start off those 2 will be plenty. As stuff grows and whatnot you'll probably get some dead spots that'll need a little extra but I think that'll work for the first couple years
