Do i really need turbelle stream for a fowlr?

[cunningham]

What do you think guys ? what are the pros and cons if any, be sides the cost, how would these benefit my 135 gallon, do they keep waste from settling on the bottom? Thanks in advance , Danny

What kind of fish do you intend to keep? my tangs (especially my Achilles) LOVES the flow from my Streams, wouldn't have them in a tank without em.

in my tank i have

I have 7 triggers and a french angel

with 7 triggers I'd spend the $$$ on food and salt for water changes instead. on my predator tanks I've never found a need for excessive flow.

Besides that, triggers can chew through the cords. I might get a couple 6060's as good flow is still important to controlling algae but I would put a cable wrap or conduit over the pump cord as I have two returned pumps right now that a puffer "ate", housing, cable, the whole thing pretty much.

Thank you for your insight I will get a 6060 or two for my tank where is the best spot to put them in the tank mine is 6 ft long, and another question, I have a 95 gallon reef tank only 48" long and 28" high and 18-24" deep with mostly zoos, rics, and some torches and bubble corals what would be a good set up for that
thanks in advance Danny
