Considering Tunze Streams...

[papagimp]

I recently aquired a 150g that I hope to have setup within the next year. I'll have two overflows against back panel, with slower return from sump/fuge system and want to use a powerhead or two for the main current/flow. I've read a little bit on the 6100 and similar, what recommendations would you guys make as far as model stream to use? would prefer 2 units as opposed to one larger.

150g
60 x 24 x 24
Mostly LPS

What type of LPS? If it was mostly Euphyllias, the 6000's are the only option, if it will have mostly acanths and brains they can take more flow.

Definately on the Euphyllia's, They're to be the main coral on display in my setup. Lot's of em!

2 6000's is what you want to get and you may need to turn them down a bit and work with coral placement.

Working on a very similar setup myself.

Would a couple of the 6055 Nanostreams provide enough flow for LPS in a 6x2x2?

The flow on the Nanostream 6055 covers a 48" by 18" area so I think I would lean more toward the 6000's.
