Flow for sps dominate 93 cube

bonomo53 · Jan 28, 2016

So i just upgraded from a 57 rimless to a 93 cube. I'm currently running 2 mp10s at 100% and i'm thinking i need more flow. Unsure of what to go with for flow either mp40, mp10 or gyre 130? The tank is mostly sps. Here is a picture of the cube.

I have a 25 gallon cube with 2 mp10s (one 100% reef crest and the other 50% full on) and I think that is the perfect amount of flow for that size tank. IMO I would think you would need something to supplement the 2 vortechs you have. I like a lot of flow in my tank but still. Perhaps another one or an mp40 and use the other two 10s for random additional flow?

Not a bad tank for MP40's if Vortechs are your thing. You will definitely want more than a single flow source though...especially as the corals grow out, but probably before that. Keep the MP10's or plan for more than one MP40.

Thanks for the responses. Only reason i would consider the gyre is because i can place it along the back wall. Not sure how i would place the mp40. Also hearing the QDmps are alot more powerful is this true?
