opinions wanted

[gotfish8]

I currently setting up my new tank (360g) And I can't decide on what tunzes I want to get. I already have a 7095 controller and 2 6100 streams. I am trying to decide if I should go with 2 wave boxes or add 2 6200 streams? This will be the only circulation besides the returns, which will be a dart and 3 sea swirls

What are the tank dimensions?

 

[gotfish8]

8Lx3Wx2H with end overflows

You need the 6200's but the waveboxes would be a nice add on. If it is either or get the 6200's.

Roger,

Would you recommend two 6200s for a tank that is 84x36x24H? I will also have an external overflow along the back. Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a similar situation, just 1 foot shorter in length. I currently have two 6000s on my 125 and would prefer to upgrade them to 6100s touse on this new tank when I finally purchase it. I could always start with them and save for the 6200s, let me know your recommendation. Could I use the two 6100s and a wavebox?

Thanks,
Chad

The 6200 is just a broader flow, that is why it is better in this situation, the reach and force of the flow is pretty much the same as the 6100.

I decided on 2 waveboxes. what would be your recommendation for mounting them. Both on one end or oposing?

Thanks

 

[rvitko]

With those dimensions, both on one end will work better.

Gotfish8,

Could you post your results after you have this setup? I am currently on the fence planning my next tank which will be 84x36x24H. I am unsure if I would switch too two 6200s or just upgrade my 6000s and add a wavebox. I think I might be on the verge of needed two waveboxes , but one may work. I think the fiancee would shoot me if I need too purchase two 6200s and two waveboxes.

Thanks,
Chad
