6095

I am setting up a 40 breeder SPS with sand bottom. Is a 6095 to much for this size tank? Thanks in advance

In my opinion no. The 6095 comes with several voltage regulators ranging from 12v to 24v. This will allow you limit the amount of flow so you don't get a sandstorm. I have 3 6095s on a 70g (36"x24"x18") SPS tank and 2 on a 50g cube. I like to keep them on the back wall, so I use the 18v jumpers to keep water from blowing out the front of the tank. The 6095 is my favorite pump in the Tunze lineup!

I also think it would be fine, however the pumps are changing and the newest 6095's have a constant 24V power supply and include a controller with a range of 20-100%. It is the same controller that the 6040 has included. The jumperless power supplies have a longer life and redesigned electronics make a lower speed regulation possible.
