I wanted to post an update, so everyone can learn what I've learned. My Tunze order has arrived and is definitely creating chaotic currents in my tank, like Ron stated above. The only coral that's not happy is a large devil's hand. He's plate sized and tends to fold over. [He needs a-fraggin', anyway (attn Ron).] I purchased the 6101 w/a single controller, and a 6055 nano. I unplugged 4 powerheads when I plugged in these two, so I'll be saving electricity as well as heat generated by all those powerheads. I did have to turn the 6101 way down at this point. The single controller will generate intermitent flow on 1 powerhead, and is set that way. The other is just a steady Tunze stream. I purchased the photo cell connector for automatic lower night current, but it can't turn down the flow when the lights go out because it's already turned all the way down by me. I can purchase a jump box so the single controller can control both powerheads, but this will make the powerheads only work the same, not a back-and-forth thing. May be worth doing anyway. Still weighing this out. Moral of the Story: I'm excited and happy with the powerheads I purchase, but the multicontroller would have been the way to go. It is a bunch more $ than the single controller.
