I am planning on switching my 2 Mp40's for a pair of 6105 and I want to controlle them with my Apex controller. My tank is a mixed reef 300gal 8 feet long and I want to put each Tunze where the Vortech's are at each end of the tank. My Apex controller is on the left side of the tank. If I get a 2 Channel Apex to Tunze Stream Cable will the cables reach each other from the pump at the opposite side of the tank, or are there longer cables. I don't want to relocate the Apex as I have it on the side of the tank on a shelf away from the sump or any splashing water. Thanks in advance Roger.

The 2-Channel Apex to Tunze Cables are Neptune products, not Tunze, so Roger may not be able to help you with that part of the answer, but I'm sure he can provide the length of the Tunze 6105 cables that are indeed very long... (I have a 6105 on the far corner of my 54" long tank, and bring the cable back around to the opposite corner where my VDM is, with plenty of cable still rolled up to spare.)
On the pre-made Neptune cables, IIRC, they are each 2', no more than 3' long that will go from your Apex or VDM to the end of the Tunze cable -- add that length to what Roger can provide for the 6105s. Once you get your 6105's, if distance is still a concern, perhaps you should consider a DIY solution instead of buying the pre-made Neptune versions so you can make the length what you need it to be (within reason of course). Instructions are HERE in the CRM on p108.
