New 175g Bowfront question

[ps8411]

Looking for some advice on which Streams I should get for my new Oceanic 175g bow front. This tank will be an attempt to duplicate Iwan's beautiful tank at www.hausriff.ch

TIA and where can I get the best prices to order these at....

I would get a TS24 kit if that is the sort of tank you want- mainly SPS.

Roger,

Thanks for the suggestion. Just curious if the TS24 kit can be throttled down to a very conservative stream rate since now I do not yet have alot of SPS's in this new 175 g. I'm running about 2 to 3 inches of sand on the bottom of this tank and do not want to create a huge Oklahoma dust bowl effect!

Let me know your recommendation as I'm in between the TS24 kit or the next smaller version [(2) 6000's I think it is].

TIA,

Well, you could get the 6000's and buy the bigger transformers later to convert them to 6100's. A 6100 at low power is equal to a 6000 at high.

Roger,

Thanks for your input...placed an order today for the TS24 kit.

I have a thick glssed 175g Oceanic bow front tank. What size magnetic holders do you recommend I purchase for these 6100's?

How thick is the glass?

Roger,

The glass is 1/2" and I installed the T24 kit today....nice design and works great!

What magnet holder do you now recommend for these 6100"s?

TIA,

Scott
