placement of Tunze streams in 210 Fowlr

[joy solomon]

I am upgrading my 75 Gal. FOWLR to a 210Gal. (dimensions 7ft.x 2ft. x 2ft.)I will be using a 6060 stream that I currently have. The tank will house a couple of tangs,a Bellus angel and a group of anthias, all of which will appreciate a good current. Where would you recomend I place my existing stream pump? I like to hide the pump in your deco rock. Would you recommend I add a second pump and if so which model? I would prefer to let the pump(s ) run continuously rather than switch them on and off. Also, I do have a 2 inch sand bed so I don't want so much flow that I end up with a sand storm. My returns will be supplying a flow of about 1000GPH.

Joy,

Your set up sounds pretty similar to mine at the moment. I have 2 no. 6060's in a 8x2x2 tank, with similar return pump. I bascially have one at each end - it creats a bit of trouble with the sand, but settles after a while.

I think for what you are describing that one would be adequate, while two would be ideal.
