Advice for wavemaker

I just upgraded to a 120 and need a good but kinda cheap advise for a wavemaker setup. Would a single gyre work or two powerhead on pulse? Gonna be putting alot of leathers and acros and some montipora in the tank

I have two gyres but one would work well. Tbh I was sceptical in the gyres but I would 100% buy them again. They are completely and I mean absolutely silent. They work flawlessly and they are easy to setup and tune. They also provide really incredible flow patterns you will not be disappointed.

Yep I second the gyre I have the CP-40 (knock off) and love the way it moves water in every part of my tank.

If I had to make a choice of one gyre or two powerheads, I believe I would go with the two powerheads. U can always add a gyre to the mix when u have the funds down the road. On both of my setups I have two wavemakers & one cp crossflowpumps (jabeo version of the gyre) & I like them setup this way.

Two gyres would also make for a nice setup. So u could also go this rout by getting one now & one later.
