Hey R2R community. Getting back into the game after a long absence. Admittedly the last time it was FWLR, and we are going mixed reef now. We are having a custom tank made two fit a specific spot, it will be peninsula with a divider wall on one short side, 40x19x24 high, roughly 80 gal. I need some input on the flow I am planning, my two options that I am tossing around are:
2 MP10s at about too GPH facing each other across the length with 2 additional inexpensive heads helping move dead spots, or
A 2000+ GPH gyre with a couple smaller heads (NERO 3-ish) on the opposite end.

The Gyre is gaining popularity in my mind.
Any thoughts, thanks in advance.
