750 gallon coming. couple questions.

[Rattleramm]

I am upgrading to a 750gl. 120"x36"x40" i bought 2 6200s with 7095, do u think two more 6200s a total of four would be enough flow for a sps dominate tank? also with this tank I can't decide if i am going to utilize a dsb, i know alot of people are going brb what would u do if u were me? thanks in advance.

First is the flow question and the answer is yes, to begin with. Eventually your sps will require more flow and spot flow areas, but to begin with your four 6200 will create a nice Jacuzzi effect. With regard to DSB, that is a tough decision. I like the look of sand, but trying to keep it in one place with that kind of flow is difficult. Also sand is a PITA when you are cleaning the glass/acrylic. My new 270 is BB, covered with Travertine tile and rapidly being covered with coraline algae. Sounds like a fun project, have fun and good luck.

wave box with those two would probably do the trick.

thanks for the advice. if i added two waveboxs, should i place them in the back creating a current of a 36" length, or two on one side of the tank 120"length? thanks agian.
