So I just purchased a Red Sea Reefer 750 which will be my first ever saltwater setup. I also purchased a set of Tunze 2095 powerheads to go with it. I will be doing a full build thread as soon as I receive the tank but my question is, will the two Tunze's be enough flow for a mixed reef tank? I am going to start with mainly LPS then branch into some SPS once I get comfortable in the hobby. Thanks for your help!
Flow in a Reefer 750 XXL

Thanks. The powerheads alone will deliver 5000 GPH at full power, I'm not sure how much flow your return pump delivers but I suspect you are going to be a little light on flow for SPS coral, but fine for soft corals and fish. For SPS you want at least 40 times your display in total flow (return pump and powerheads combined), but honestly 50 times the display tank is better so you are looking for about 8000 GPH total.

Don't dose dimensions equal out to a 180 gallon???
per Red Sea: "The new XXL REEFERâ„¢ models are 65cm (25.6″) wide and 60cm (23.6″) high and are available in 150cm (59″) long/625 liter (165 gal) capacity or 180cm (71″) long/750 liter"
Mine being the 71 inch version, so my estimate was slightly off. Total volume of the system is 200g, 160g tank and 40g sump.
