Need help in wavebox and tunze layout!

I have a 96x48x25 tank with two external overflows that are each 24" across. I will be running a 2 snappers as returns through 3 x 1" sea swirls. I also have two waveboxes and 4 x 6100 tunze pumps. I was going to mount the two wave boxes on one end of the tank so they would create a wave the entire 8' length and then place all 4 of the 6100s on the back wall of the tank blowing forward to the front viewing pane. This tank is viewable from the front and one side. I will have minimal rock structures and 2 of these are the reef ceramics pillars. The tank will be mostly SPS with LPS a close second. Does this sound like a good way to set it up? The sea swirls will be positioned on the back wall one in each corner and on in the middle between the two external overflows. If I knew how to draw my setup I would but I am not that talented. I hope the tunze pros can help me make the right decision.
 
Andrew, that sound like a great plan. Two tunze wavebox on 1 end will work out very well, make sure you space them out so they will cover the 48" width. I have the same dimension tank and i have try 2 tunze wavebox on 1 end at each corner approx 6" from the side panel it work very well. Im able to get close to 2" of wave. If your tank is against the wall with two sides view, 4 tunze along the back wall is a great idea. But i would angle them a bit to create that circular motion in the tank. Make sure the 4 pumps evenly space out throughout the 96" length. Hope that would help...:D
 
That sounds great. Are you using a 7095 controller or something else? If you are using the 7095 controller how do you recommend setting it for the pumps?
 
I am using ONLY tunze controller on tunze pumps because it is designed for a reason.

As for the setting i would start with interval II on your 7095 controller. the first two pumps on channel 1 and the second two pump on channel 2.

Top 2 white knob on 100% and the bottom 2 white knob on 30%. Your pump will cycle between 30-100% continuously.

Or try the sequential with the same setting as above and see which one you would like best.
