water movement

[Michael J Raw]

I have recently replaced a 75 gallon rectangular tank with a 60 gallon 24" cube tank. It is a reef setup with live rock in the center. Am desiring to add more water movement and am looking for suggestions. Would like to use the Gyre pump but am concerned with the volume and lack of space.
Also, the tank is in the living room and don't want a lot of extraneous noise as the pump(s) cycle.
I would appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks,
Mike

Pair of mp10s or a single mp40 would work good in that system. Very unintrusive as the main motor sits outside the tank.

There is a thread going on today about water movement. Check that out. I say look at Jebao SW-4. Very small form factor.

I have two mp10s on my 75 and they are amazing. I would be fine with one.

The icecap comes with the controller...very customizable.
I can hear a quite hum when it's on 100% but other than that I don't hear anything
