100-125 gallon SPS - Two 6100s? or One 6100 and a Wave Box?

[rocknut]

I am in the process of getting the hardware together to set up either a 5 foot, or 6 foor (100 gallon or 125 gallon) SPS tank next year. I already have a 6100, and am getting ready to add another one. Would I be better off adding an additional stream, or adding a wavebox instead? Just wanted to get some opinions.
Thanks!

Tough call, I would say wavebox because it eliminates dead spots and enhances polyp extension. If possible get a centered overflow box with the water level about 2" below the top so you can take full advantage of it.

Thanks, Roger. Can you give me a recommendation on how I would place the wavebox, and the 6100? Would I just put one on each end, facing each other? If the tank is a standard built, reef ready set-up, would I just use a dremel and grind down the teeth of the overflow to lower the inside water level?
Thanks!

If you don't have the tank yet I would prefer to order it to suit you rather than modify it. A dremel or router would be used to cut the teeth otherwise.

I would place the wavebox centered on an end and the 6100 on the other side.
