More flow ?

[jond]

I currently have two 6101s and a multicontroller in my 280 (72X30X30). I would like more flow. Should I get a 6105 or a 6205. It is destine to be an SPS dominant tank and I have a shallow sand bed.

Thanks.

The 6101 and 6105 have about the same flow. The 6105 has a little better range. I just purchased 2 6105s and I love them.

For your tank size, i would add another pair of 6205.

Thanks for the input. If I add two more, what would you suggest for location? I currently have the two on opposing ends facing each other pointed slightly to the front. Oh, it is an in-wall, so no concern of cords on the sides.

put the pump at the front corner flow across. Controller set on interval II, each 6205 and 6101 on 1 channel pulsing between 30%-100% for 1.5s at 30 sec interval... If you find the 6205 too strong or if it disturb your sandbed, point it upward and that will fix the problem.
