What type of tank will this be?

Reef? FO? FOWLR?

If a reef, what kind of corals?

LPS? SPS? Soft?

Minimum of two #3's. You could go with two #4's and really rock with your flow!

I have a Resun Wavemaker. But I have troubles with the mount, it doesn't fit with my canopy. This cause that the wave maker only shoot to one spot and parts of the tank aren't receiving good flow. It is mounted on the back side of the tank.

Here's a photo of what I have Now. I was thinking on two #3's. But i'm not sure if it is too much. Same happen with 1 #3 & 1 #4, will it form a sand storm on the tank?

I have one K4 with an MJ in my 55gal. I also have a second K4 from my old tank and I don't think that I'm going to use it in the 55gal because it might be a little too much. I would say two K3 should be a good combination.

If you aren't aiming them directly at the sand you wont have a sandstorm, these put out a nice wide flow. A 3 and a 4 should give you a ton of flow, but not too much flow. Is your tank longer than tall?
