Flow shapes for 6060, 6080, 6100

Considering one or two for a 230 gal (60 x 30 x 30). Overflow on one side of tank, return on the other so there is always flow that way. I debated having one stream on the overflow facing the returns for some chaos.

Alternatively, I could go with two for a wave effect (I assume the controller supports this).

I plan a few SPS, but that is certainly not the primary emphasis of the tank. I don't want too much flow and I don't want dead spots.

So - 1 or 2 and which sizes? At what distance are each of the 6xxx sizes no longer effective (i.e. the wavefront has dispersed)

Roger,

Instead of the above post, how about flow distances for the 6000 and 6100 streams. I think I want the controllable ones instead of the fixed speed. I am deciding between two of the 6000s or two of the 6100s now. 6100 seems like too much (I'm not focusing on SPS, the tank is 60" long, and I will have at least 2000 GPH from the returns).

I also need the mechanical dimensions for both 6000 and 6100. A CAD drawing would be even better. I'm designing a trapedoidal overflow into one of the sides and want to make sure I can fit the pump on the tank side next to the trapezoid.

Thanks,

Lewis

I don't have any drawings but the dimensions are 3.9" diameter by 4.6" deep. Allow 1" in additional depth for the holder. 2 6000 would be my choice each pump gives a flow of 4ft by 2ft by 2ft, the 6100 gives about 7ft in reach.
