"Would a Tunze Stream be too much for a 3FT tank?"

Q was asked by someone else over at RDO, but I'd like to hear it here from the man himself...

Thanks!

Liquid and Hillbilly gave some good info there. The 6000 Stream would be fine for SPS and leather corals- they like flow. I have a friend using a 6000 in an Oceanic 58 and it was difficult to get his frogspawn happy, we finally had to barricade it off with live rock. On the other hand, the acros and the Turbinaria renaformis are just fine. In general, I would probably suggest a 7300/2 or 7400/2 for most applications though- mixed reef, LPS, Anemones, softies. One of these would cover you as far as flow goes and you get most of the same advantages- just on a smaller scale.
