Hi guys
Torn between a Maxspect Gyre or a Nero 5.
Tank: 200 x 60 x 60cm (78 x 23 x 23 in) plus 100L sump
Planted, w/ CO2
Flow: 10,000 LPH sump pump (currently set at 20%) + wavemaker (3400 LPH)
Equipment arrangement see schematic below (top down view):
The Nero claims to provide a more spread out flow compared to the Gyre, which I think might make my plants (especially the tall ones eg Vallisnerias, Echinodorus bleheris) not look their best, but the Nero might be better at distributing the CO2 bubbles at the bottom third of the tank?
Re placement: I was thinking of placing the Gyre on the left hand side, vertically on the overflow box (that runs the height of the tank) ie facing the wavemaker on the opposite end and operating it only in reverse - this I think will help with the flow.
What are your thoughts? Tagging @Zeus. who has some good experience with the Maxspect.
Thank you
