Low flow in a 125

[ahenson]

Roger could you make some recomendations for me? I have zoanthids and Lps No sps. I like lower flow but random.
I currently have 2 mp40s and a eheim 1260 return pump.
I'd like to trade my pumps for Tunze product. I think a nano wavebox is what I want. Is that and my return enough flow? What I don't like about the vortechs is I can't turn them down low enough and still have random flow.
What do you suggest?
I have also read the nano wavebox is noisy. Is this so?
Thanks

Waveboxes are more of a supplemental flow not for cirulation. I am thinking a pair of 6105s using the 12v jumper which will let the pump run from a min of 528 to a max of 1849gph would be your best bet. You could then add a nanowavebox to this.

How would a pair of 6100s and a 7094 controller work with the nano wavebox? Would that be too much flow? Are there problems using the older pumps?

No problems using the older pumps, the 6000s would be approximately the same flow as the 6105 on the 12v jumper. Just keep in mind parts are hard to come by as both those items have been out of production for quite a few years. I dont think Roger has any parts to repair the 7094s with these days. He could speak to that tomorrow.

As Shawn said, if you have these and they work, great, but parts are scarce so when they fail, that is the end of the road. I agree that the Nano Wavebox needs an additional directional flow component to be satisfactory. They should not be very noisy, they do click a little and there is some noise of a surge and wave, but I wouldn't consider one that is working properly noisy.
