1 or 2 Nano 6025's in 40g???

What do you think... 1 or 2 Nano 6025's? Tanks dimension are 36L x 12W x 21H.

Thanks!

2, i just put one in my 36 corner tank and am getting another one.

So the 600 gph flow is deceiving because the flow is so dispersed? I would think 1200 gph flow would be too much for the 40... Thoughts?

i think you are better off with 2 small ones rather than one big one... i think 2 6025 will be perfect for your 40... you can also go with 2 6045 depending on what you're keeping, but unless you're a flow hog, that on the very high side...

So I won't have any sandstorms hopefully, correct?

 

[hammerswinger]

no

i would maybe get a coralife power center or reef fanatic wave creator to switch them on and off every 15 minutes for some nice random flow.

no sand storms no real neet so switch them they can both run in a 40 with no sandstorm

Ahh, good idea. I have an Aquacontoller on the tank so I could use that to alternate between the two. Nice! :thumbsup:

 

[hammerswinger]

just make sure when you switch them off they stay off for at least 15 minutes.

Ok, great. This sounds like the ticket. Thanks!!!
