Please help...and when will large magnet holders be available?

[alin2]

Hi Roger and all:

I currently have a 48"x32"x30" tank (190 G) as shown below.

I have purchased 2 6000 Streams to augment the flow from the Hammerhead return pump in my basement sump room.

Since the tank has 3 viewable sides, I will be placing the Streams along the back wall besides the overflow (which is on the back wall) next to the side walls.

First, given the depth of the tank, how far down would you place the Streams? Also, what mode would you use (when I get the 7095)? I figure that alternating the pumps would give the best random flow as the return lines and the Streams are all along the back wall.

Also, I figured out that the large magnetic holders would proabably be easiest. Roger, when do you expect to have some more of the large magnets. I assume they will work with 3/4" acrylic?

Thanks everyone!

I would just mount them maybe 6" below the surface, given the tank width, I would use interval I which idles one pump while pulsing the other. Alternatively use Pulse mode with opposite pulses, so one is at 30% when the other is at 100%. You might check around for the large mag holders, they would work and those might be in stock somewhere, we are close to caught up and hopefully it wouldn't be too long if everyone was out.

Place an order just to be on the safe side, I don't know when we will get to standing stock and if that happens I expect their will be a rush to buy them.
