How Many Nanos for a 60g Cube ??

[jimmyPx]

Hello,

I am currently setting up a 60 gallon SPS tank. It is a cube (24in x 24in x 24in).

I'm thinking that 4 6025 Nano's placed in the 4 corners and angled towards the middle should give great water flow.


My question, is this too much, too little flow, etc ???

I would really like 4 6055's on a controller, but they won't be out until April.


Advice would be appreciated.

I'm using two 6045s in a 50 gallon corner tank and I'm very happy with the flow. I also have a 500gph return pump. I would say 4 of the 6025s would be a very high flow tank, and I like the idea that there would be 4 sources of current. But, I bet 2 6045s would do the trick.

I agree with Matt.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I just bought 2 6045s from Premium Aquatics.

Should I put them on either side of the tank and point them at each other ???

I would probably point them from the back corners to the opposite front corners.

rvitko or anyone else- where would you place two 6045's in a 54 gallon corner tank?

 

[rvitko]

I would probably place both in the back aimed straight ahead to the front so they hit about 6-8" in from the ends.

Do you mean at positions A and B or more like C and D?

 

[rvitko]

A and B

I'm sorry - 6-8 inches beyond AB, or 6 to 8 inches from the far end of the tank?
