Flow question for 180 gallon tank

[jsweir]

Roger, I have a 180 gallon standard measurements. I have one 6100 with a 6200 suction housing. I have this connected to a 7094 waiting to add another tunze. My question is, with the additional cost of the suction housing, the price on the 6200 is very attractive. Would I have too much flow in the tank if I use a 6100 on one side and a 6200 on the other? Should I just go with another 6100? My tank is sps only with a few fish, no sand. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could use a 6200, the flow is mainly wider though and doesn't cover any greater distance, my experience in smaller tanks and for this pump a 180 is a smaller tank is that their is not much difference from a 6100.

You might ask SeanT, he is using a 6200 in his 180.
