540 gallon stream use?

[celstar]

I have a 540 gallon 96x36x36, What would everyone recomend for bare bottom with alot of sps? I have 4 6100 and controller now, no water in tank yet just started changing this tank to a reef set-up from a planted discus.

That sounds like a good set up.

Thank you for the response. Would you add a wave box to this? And also what would be your placment of the 6100's in this aquarium? controller set at?

The wavebox is nice, on a tank that size you would need an extension but you don't need it all at once, you would be fine to start with just the 4 6100's. I would place 2 on each side aimed directly across about 6" below the surface. I would use Interval2 at a 6hr interval, use a pulse with that of 100-30% at 3sec. Placement is largely trial and error.

Would you use 4 more streams to add flow, or the wave box and ext.?

If I was to add anything it would be the waveboxes, or maybe sell a couple of the 6100's and get 2 6200's instead with the 2 6100's. The waveboxes though should add all the flow you need and add a neat effect.
