Spent the last 15min reading through your build thread and wow — what an ordeal going through all that! I would have thrown in the towel and reset for a few years! lolI'm Ok currently with the flow, I haven't put in anything yet. If I go all in with sps, I have a pair of mp40's sitting around along with a pair jebao slw20's. So I can get some random higher flow if necessary.
I'm also running a single vertical gyre in my 120g (softie dominated) and in happy with it.
Your 120 looks great — you have quite a fish collection! I only have 8 fish in the tank. Anyway, I’m a sucker for wrasses (ahem..read fish, that is) but I don’t have a cover on my rimless and these guys are good jumpers! Will consider once I order a custom cover.
Agreed on the MP40s I have 2 MP40s on my other tank and pretty happy with it since it’s a rectangle. Cubes are not that fun at 36” actually and I got 3 WAVs running at 80%+. I might add the 4th one but still debating.
