Hello, I have a 130g tank, dimensions are 130cmx55cmx55cm. It's going to be an sps dominant tank, I have 2x jaebo gyre pumps, and recently acuires 2x XF350 gyre pumps. I want to make use of all 4 pumps in the tank. I needed some help with positioning the gyres so that I have good turbulence all around the tank, any help would be appreciated.

Red Sea ReefWave45s on the sides (20-60% random; 8min forward, 2min reverse) and a pair of Maxspect XF330s on either side of the overflow (20% forward).

Wow beautiful tank, any reason for the 2min reverse!? I tried reverse in my tank once and it disturbed the sand under the pumps. I'll try your positioning, and will play with the schedule. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Mainly just to mix things up a bit and vary the flow. In all my wave modes the reverse speed is always about half, ie: 60% forward for 8min and 30% reverse for 2min.
