Yaman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nero 5 or maxspect gyre The tank is sr 60, 36" long shallow. If maxspect, what model? Aiming for mixed reef Regards Sweden Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have a shallow tank as well. CadLights 45g and I wanted two gyre one on each side but after researching. It seemed like it wouldn't be that great in a shallow tank and probably would just throw all my sand around. Since I already have 1 MP-10 I'm just going to add 2 more. I plan on mounting them across from each other and then the third one on the back side of my rock work to push current toward my overflow and keep that dead are cleaned out. If you are stuck on the Nero and the gyre. I'd get the Nero 5 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Even though that pump is rather strong. You'll likely need to supplement it with some other cheaper pumps if you want. Just to stir up some dead spots. As strong as that pump is. I don't see just one being enough in a 3ft tank. I could be wrong though Quote Link to comment
Yaman Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 So nero 5 and the 2 360gph for return shoud be plenty then. Maybe add one more nero 5 later on Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yeah I suppose. Depending on your rock work of course. Aqua scape effects flow greatly. Someone else could have the same tank with different rock work and need powerheads in every corner. Where another tank with a minimal scape could get by with one. Like I said above. In my particular tank. I think I need three Quote Link to comment
Yaman Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Going for this, Open space whit good flow. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yeah I'd consider that a pretty minimalist scape in a 3ft tank. You'll prolly be good 1 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Nero looks cool but I haven't found alot of reviews. You could do an mp or 2. Or 2 aqamai kps or the kpm Quote Link to comment

Yaman Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Dosing vodka instead for pellets....must offer one filtersock for the biopellets reactor if not . And the vodka feels more easy to dose then pellets Quote Link to comment
