[bcb577]

Hi all,building a 46 bow front mixed reef and am curious how many power heads I should use and how many gph should they be for good flow?

I once had one like that and I think I had 2 Eheim power heads about 4000ltrs/h.
As per now I would put to Jecod RW8 for sps.
The thing I remember was the effect of the bow front over the circulation...

I didn't even think of the shape of the tank

May I ask how the shape of the tank effect the circulation?

It creates a circular flow along the bow front.

I'm running a 46 bow, using 2 tunze 6095's for the wide flow, thery are on a controller so only one side is running at a time, both on low speeds. great water flow in and around the rocks, imo works great.
