Another pump recommendation question

[tapio]

I have been using Stream 6100's and the 7094 controller from the time they were introduced and they have worked perfect and only required occasional cleanings and some spare parts. My needs have changed and have started to look for replacements. Since these have worked so great I am looking at Tunze again.

One aquarium is 6 feet long 24" wide and 18" tall. I am running 2 6100's on opposing ends and only one can be on at the same time without water splashing. It is mostly SPS, clams and a large S. gigantea. Since the tank is only 18" tall some corals and the anemone will be close to the pumps I think that the new wide flow housing sounds like the way to go, but I also like a LOT of flow.

The small aquarium is 4 feet long 20: wide and 18" tall. It has only standard powerheads currently and I am looking for better circulation.

2 6095 for the 4ft tank and 2 6105 for the 6ft tank.

The new pumps are much more versatile due to the wider flow and adjustable voltages.

Thanks. The 2 aquariums are close to another. Can I use the same controller for all 4 pumps, the 7095 or 7096?

Yes, you could use one controller for both tanks and either the 7095 or 7096 would work. Each of those comes with four ports and they're expandable up to 8 with our Y-adapter.

Of course you'll lose out on a little programming flexibility with two tanks sharing one controller, but you should still be able to accomplish what you need.
