Mp40, 2 Mp40, or 2 gyres in 60g cube

[slogan315]

I bought a used 60g cube that came with 1 mp40 and a jebao slw 30. I am going for a bare bottom, mixed tank.

i plan to keep the Jebao to have a spare flow pump, but not use it in my DT.

The question is, do I stick with 1 mp40, sell the mp40 for 2 gyres, or bite the bullet on a second mp40? I think my glass is too thick for mp10s fyi. Keep in mind I’m new to the hobby and have more things to invest in besides flow.

current setup and scape:

I think what you currently have is enough flow, even for acros, you can wait until the acros start to grow and crowd each other before adding another MP40.. what is your lighting?

I have a 360x and a 360we spare. Planning to add the 360we or reef brites if I start needing more par.

I’d think the single MP40 would be plenty. You could center it on the back of the tank for even flow if you like.

single is probably sufficient. If anything, buy a spare wetside and make maintenance that much easier.

In time you may need that second MP40. Water chemistry, flow, and then light. In that order of importance.

Single 40 is perfect for that tank! That’s what I currently have with tons of Sps and it perfect..

Thanks for the input guys. Just the one has plenty of power, but it does feel like my flow is very feast or famine. If I ever drain it enough to pull it off the wall, I may try putting it on the back wall.
