New 265, powerhead requirements?

[oldenred]

Installing it this coming week. Will eventually be a reef tank once I get the system stable. How many gallons per hour do I need from wavemakers / powerheads? Recommendations on which ones to get and how many? Thanks

It depends on what kind of corals you plan on keeping and the rockwork. However I’d say somewhere in the range of 13,000 is probably a good starting point for a mixed reef. More like 18k for an SPS dominant reef. Some MP40s or MP60s would be great in there.
