120 With wavebox

I was wondering if I have a 120 gallon tank it is 4'x2' with an external overflow. I already have a wavebox but I was going to get 1 Tunze 6000 to add. I see the 6101 is coming out will the 6000 still be made? and is the 6101 too much flow for me? or should I get a few 6055 nanos?

The 6101 is actually going to be called 6130, it is already in the latest manual revision but it won't be out until at least July. The 6130 will cost as much as a 6100 but it will be a bit more variable as you can change the power on the transformer and adjust a potentiometer. It will be capable of the same low speed of a 6000. The 6000 would be cheaper though and the parts will be still available.

Thanks for the info. Would you not recomend the nanos?

You are at the upper end of what I would recommend Nano Streams for. They will work if you are planning a lower flow aquarium and will keep the wavebox, you could use 2 with good results. If you will ever get into full blown SPS you will need more.
