Powerheards and flow for 60 gallon breeder

[valley]

Hello, I’ll be setting up a 60 gallon breeder tank soon. I’ll start the cycle off with just the rock, sand, heater, and flow. I’ll be adding lights and a sump with a overflow box shortly after my cycle finishes. I’m not sure how much flow I should aim for though. I want it to be an lps and softie tank with no sps. How much flow should I have? Which powerheads/wave makers and return pump should I buy?

I am all about the EcoTech. MP10s or MP40s would work well. And they have battery backup available for purchase

I run 2 x 2k icecap gyres on my 40 breeder, they would do well on your tank too

I like AI. I have an orbit 2 gyre and a nero 3 on my 40 breeder

Thank you all for the help! Are the orbit 2 and 2k icecap gyre pretty much the same? I’ve already used ai products in the past and so I’m familiar with the app.

From what I’ve read, AI literally just took the icecap gyre and gave it a different color scheme, and also added wifi control.

I use a combo of Aqua Illumination Nero 3s on one side and a Jebao gyre on the opposite in my 90. Nero 3 or Nero 5 would work well in your setup. Used them in my 60 that I had.
