Controller 7094!! Now What Pump? Need Help!

[greg s]

ok i have decided to go with the mulitcontroller 7094
Tide simulation (7094 only) - The pumps are switched on or off alternately. The switching time can be adjusted between 1 minute and 12 hours.....
I love the idea of this feature....now i need to
know what PH to buy....do i use the
stream or the osmolator? my tank is
60" i want 2, left & right hand sides facing each other....
i will be keeping most hard coral, Any help will
be great thank you!!

The osmolator is a top off system not a flow pump. The only logical option is 2 6000 Streams or 2 7400/2. Refresh my memory on tank dimensions. And by hard coral do you mean SPS or LPS.

confused on which pumps are which (marine depot book at home)

Turbelle is the brand name of Tunze powerheads. When Norbert Tunze invented the powerhead some 40 years ago he combined the words Turbine and Libelle- German for dragonfly- as the name for the product. All of our powerheads are Turbelle. These are further divided into Turbelle Classic, Turbelle Powerhead, Turbelle Electronic, Turbelle Stream and Turbelle Electronic Stream. The Classics are old fashioned air cooled pumps and may be used on a multicontroller with special adapters. The Turbelle Powerhead are a standard style powerhead but with 1" nozzles, higher flow than most and a general heavy duty construction- THESE ARE NOT CONTROLLABLE. The Turbelle Electronic is controllable by the multicontroller and includes models 7200/2, 7300/2 and 7400/2 these are basically controllable versions of Turbelle Powerheads. Then in the Turbelle Stream, we have models 6060 and 6080- NOT CONTROLLABLE- and the Turbelle Electronic Stream 6000 and 6100 which are controllable. Based on your tank dimensions if it was my tank I would use one 6000 and one 7400/2. The 6000 will give a 24" by 24" column of water that moves about 4ft- your tank is a bit on the narrow side to take full advantage. The 7400/2 will give a column that widens over a 6ft range to about 1ft by 1ft and will move the water more effectively around the aquarium. With a good return flow of say 500-600gph, I think you would have all your bases covered.

PERFECT INFO!!! This Helps A Ton!! my two return pumps
w/ head factored in will be in the 1500-1800 gph
range ran thru 2 SCWDS! so with that and the stream
should put my flow where i want it...My 60 gal now
runs 40 times turn over from tank to sump not including
C.A. 4000 (900 gph) running across the bottom of the tank...
and my tank has never looked better, so i would like to
keep the 100 gallon in the same range for the size...
Thanks for the well informed thread...Greg
