I have a Hydor wavepump in the top left and a current eFlux wavepumo in the top right (you have to have the controller for the eFlux) I love the eFlux wavepumo because it has a fully adjustable flow and different settings like wave, pulse or stream modes. The hydor pumps are great and CHEAP I’ve had mine for over a year with no problems and they come from 240GPH-860GPH I believe. Good luck!

I agree with @Nate_Krohn . I've used Hydors in the past and they work great. I currently use gyres and they work wonderfully too -- one powerhead can move water in two separate directions and you can adjust the flow. Here is a website -- I hope it helps.

It is generally recommended that your gph is 10X your tank size -- and that is your starting point. If you wish to pick up another Marineland, you will be at 700 gph when you should be at 750 gph minimum. You would be cutting it close.

A newborn? Oh dude, your life as you know it has changed. My newborn is 16 and will be getting his driving license any day. Congratulations. Prepare to be exhausted -- even five years from now.haha filled the tank today
P.S. The tank looks great.Thanks alot, in 1 way im lucky he is a really good baby and only eats every 4 hours, but downside....he eats every 4 hours... hahah. Thanks im still unsure about the rock work, but it can be changed here and there before i get corals in it
