flow advice

[jond]

I have been using Tunze in my reef tank for about 7 years. I started out with older generation (6101 I think) and am currently running two 6105 with a 7095 controller. I don't feel I'm getting enough flow. I did a major overhaul on my tank this last spring and am going for a SPS dominate with some LPS. I have the pumps on opposing ends of the tank as it is an in wall setup. Any advice on changes additions for better flow?

Thanks in advance.

Left out a little detail. tank is 72x30x30

You could add a couple more 6105's or a wavebox and that should take care of any dead spots you may have

Only problem with adding more 6105s is I have 3/4 glass so I'd have to add the magnet extensions. My current 6105s I run with the old magenet holders from my 6101s with the adapter. How much of the wavebox must extend from the top of the water line? My tank is eurobraced all around so that could be an issue.

You want to have 1/2-3/4" above the water and room for a 3/4"-1" wave.

Okay, that should work. What would you think about my 2 6105s on one end and a 6155 on the other?

That should work, I would probably use the narrow flow housings on the 6105 to maximize the reach.
