Hi
My first Reef Tank is running for about 6 months now, it's a 100 gallon Red Sea 525 XL tank.
My first mistake was starting with a MP60 which is clearly way too big for the tank, i let it run on a very low setting (about 10%) and then a few weeks ago i bought a Nero 5 to put on the opposite side.
I set the Nero up quite high with an angle towards the surface, giving the tank good surface agitation. The MP60 now runs at 5% across the front glass in reef crest mode. I turned the Pump up to like 20-30% two times, both times resulting in a Torch or Hammer Euphy letting go of one of it's heads. I recently got into the Gyre Pumps and i consider buying 2 or 4 of the Maxspect Gyre 330 Cloud Pumps, to give me a really random flow pattern across the whole tank. I don't see a way i can integrate the MP60 without giving the coralls too much flow to handle but i would like to use the Nero 5 still.
Does anyone have expierience with combining Gyre Pumps with normal pumps like Nero or MP's and does anyone have a similar oversized Pump and managed to integrate it usefull?
