[markandkristen]

im running 1 6200 and 3 6100's in a 220

been doing bare bottom..

i was planning on removing my 4 maxijet mods that are pointed down in the back

was thinking of doing sand again

I have 2 stream 6100 in my 180, and they move my sand around a lot. IMO i would not add the sand unless you were going to use something like CC.

It *can* be done depending on how your rockwork deflects the current. It also takes some patience to tinker with pointing your Tunzes at the *perfect* angle. Also, your sand will sift less as the sandbed matures.

I have a 180g:

Tunze 6201 x2
Tunze 6101 x1
Tunze 6080
Tunze 6060
Tunze 6025
Tunze 6045

Sand stays put

Your tank is 6" taller than mine, so there should be less chance of sifting if you place your Tunzes near the top.

nice setup tbone, i thought i had a tunze obsession with my 2 streams and a wavebox.
