How would you recommend setting up some streams in an 8' 240 gallon reef. I have rock in the center with 3 sides viewable. The overflow is on one of the 24" end pieces. I currently have 2 6101's but am considering a third device.
1. Putting one 6101 on one side of overflow(corner of tank) and live rock directed down one side. Putting the other 6101 in the center of the opposite end(24" panel).
2. Putting both 6101's on either side of the overflow(both corners of 24" panel) and live rock directed down both sides of the tank and then a third device on the opposite end in the center of the other 24" panel. Each on these would be directed down the long 8' of the tank.
If this option seems better, what do you recommend for the third device? Would another 6101 be ok or should I consider a 6201? The pumps should only need to reach 4 feet before it meets the opposing stream.
I know this sounds confusing but if you understand please let me know what you think.
Thanks
