Hi everyone,
I have a 75 gallon tank, 48x18x21. Assume this is the main form of water movement because the other things I have are weak. What do you think would be best, $200 max budget. LPS and softies. Vote or let me know any other suggestions you might have, it seems like the reviews are all over the place.
A bit more-
What's more reliable, more powerful, etc. Why would you pick one over the other? I'm reading reviews but I feel like this might be a bit more beneficial to hear conversation over it from people who have used one the other both or something else all together that I might not otherwise look at
The EFlux has two heads, so placing them at opposite ends of the tank I think would be more beneficial than one Gyre at one end right? I feel like it would likely help with reducing dead spots and will probably give more varied movements for the corals? Especially since I have an overflow box which can create a bit of a dead spot in the corner.
I do have a couple SunSun 530s but I really don't think they're the best, they seem rather weak so they're really just be to supplement things, mix water, blast the rocks up close etc.
I see the stand alone power heads but they seem to run around $40+ each and if I need 2+ then I'd need to plug them into a strip and turn off the strip whenever I feed which overall I don't mind that much, but if the next option comes with the different water modes or less wires being strung through my canopy and tank I think I'm willing to pay a bit more. Right now one of my power cords drapes half way through the tank because the strip is at the opposite end and the cord is barely long enough.
