New 180 need natural water flow, what Tunze stream should be used?

[divein4444]

New to TUNZE equipment, not sure what I need. I have read numerous threads and checked out the site but still not sure. My tank is 72x24x24, 180 gallon currently with one sea-swirl on one of the returns. I am using an Iwaki 70 return pump, what Tunze streams can be used, what controller and accessories? I am looking at the TurbelleÃ"šÃ‚® stream Kit TS07, is this the right one? Where does it get placed in the tank? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

For mainly SPS TS24 is the correct set. Otherwise get 2 6000's and a 7094. The 6000 flow only carries 4ft, the 6100 7ft so you will need more than one 6000 for sure.

Cool, thanks. How does this unit work? I am still a little confused. Can it be purchased directly through you? Thanks again.

Let me re-phrase this better, the streams do not need to be plumbed (like from the returns) do they? They are placed directly in the tank...what is the best location to circulate water through the tank? If not on the acrylic then hidden in the rockwork for other placement? What about suction, do they intake alot of debris and critters? Can I leave my sea-swirl on my return too? Do I need more than one for my 180gallon? Anyones insight is greatly appreciated.

They are in tank powerheads. They need to be placed where they can be serviced as they do need to be cleaned every few months. The Sea Swirl is great. Two would be preferred but you can start with one. In general the suction is diffuse- there is some risk with anemones but otherwise it isn't much of an issue.
