I have a 100 gallon peninsula. I’m am looking forward to the day I go back to a tank up against the wall. Then I can place power heads on opposing sides. If you want to keep the end of the peninsula facing out free of an ugly power head it leaves all your flow/ return coming from one end of the tank. It’s been a struggle. Also running a mixed reef is tough and if I were to start over I would stick with either all one type, SPS or most likely LPS. Besides flow, they really like different different Parameters in water, lighting and flow. I do know that multiple pumps positioned at different corals works better than one big pump. I was losing a large acro colony after a RODI mishap and I placed a Jaebo RWw on it, under my gyre 250 on the overflow wall. The colony came back from what appeared as STN/RTN in a couple of weeks. So I guess my point is multiple power heads placed in strategic positions are better. Or block your LPS from strong current with your SPS and rock work.
I have 2 RFG nozzles on a Varios 6 pump turned up to 4, a gyre, 250 and a RW4. Also I have figi pink sand and once it get coated it doesn’t move. I just stirred up the sand so the water is a little cloudy and corals not happy.
