4- Tunze 6095

[hugh ngo]

I have a 96x24x32 with 4 tunze 6095 and 7095 controller, setting up as a mixed reef. What's the best option for placing these pump? Should I place all 4 on the back glass or 2 on the back and one on each side? Setting up a rock wall with 2 island in the center. Thanks for any suggestion.

I would do 4 on the back and use sequential mode, you will want them all facing at the same angle to the front for this to work best.

Ok thanks.

Rodger, do you think I have enough flow for this size tank for a mix reef? With 4 6095.

 

[rvitko]

It depends on what you plan to keep, I think it is on the low end for most SPS but fine for anemones, soft corals and most LPS.

Down the road and if I add more sps, would you think adding a tunze 6215 wavebox would do the trick? Or going with 6105 length wise?

 

[rvitko]

I would think the wavebox is the best next step if more flow was needed.

ok thanks.... wavebox it is...

Hello, Rodger I have another questions. What's the best placement for these pump? All 4 will be on the back glass, can't decide how high up to put them. Should I put them all about half way down or 1/3 below water surface?

 

[rvitko]

I would generally place them 1/3rd of the way down since surface movement is an important aspect of flow.

I have a standard 90 gallon tank 48x18x24 (LxWxH)... i am getting 2 6095's.. should i place one on each side of the tank?

i was considering getting a sea swirl as well for a return.

his is my rock work..

I would place one in each back corner and aim them to the front just past the middle, so they hit about 3ft away or half way between center and opposite corner.
