Needing recommendations

[radone]

Wanting to upgrade my tank to either a 180 or 210 and have looked into these streams some. Can you recommend a setup.
I mostly have softies with a few LPS and SPS.
Definitely would want the controller.
BTW I'm wanting to set this up as a pennisula tank with the overflows at one end and mounting this to not be seen.

If your familiar with Mantis on here then I'm looking at something like his. Would I need 4 units for a taller tank or just 2?
I'm looking at an external overflow chamber to mount these in do you see any problems with mounting these externally then running throught the glass?

Thanks for any help and suggestions

Ideally i would use 2 6000 one on each end and hide them in the Stream rocks. If you won't go for that then 1 6100 on one side but that will mean no low flow corals for the first 3-4 ft from the pump for sure. Just keep in mind an overflow would have to be able to handle 3200 gph for a 6100 and that is beyond what the average overflow can handle.

Thanks Roger will need to think of other ways but your recommendation on the 6000's was what I was thinking aslo, Just didn't want the rock to be visible
Thanks again

Mount them in a seperate compartment. Not the same one as the overflow.
