How should I set my Tunze streams?

[curtisvill]

Hi all. I have a new 180 with 2 Tunze Stream 6100s with a 7095 controller. I just placed them in the tank tonight on the pulse setting. I am not exactly sure where I should place them, right now I have them on either end of the tank facing the center. I am also not sure what the best program to use would be. The tank will be an sps tank and will have a deep sand bed. Thanks for your help.

I would place them facing one another and put them on a wave action and see waht kind of flow you get, then from there just play with the controller and see what setting best fits yoru tank.

Thanks for the help. These things sure create a TON of flow in my tank. It took overnight for the sand storm to stop, now things look great.

I added a Tunze Wavebox to my 180g. Very nice flow....everywhere! I also use Tunze streams but I do not have them facing each other. The Wavebox does most of the work.
