Pump placement in a 180g

[ShadowViper]

Ok my Tunze just came in today and now I have no clue where to put them. I have 2 6100's and a wavebox. The tank is 6ft x 2ft x 2ft has dual corner over flows each box is 10 inches long and 6 inches deep. I know rock work can be a factor but haven't started my rockwork yet. I plan on doing 2 diagnol Islands more toward the middle of the tank.

Thanks in Advance.

Forgot to mention I also have the 7095 controller and I plan on having a few inches of sand.

I would place a pump in each back corner and aim them to about the front center, a little past it. Use Interval2 and a 6 hr interval set pulse to 3sec with 30%-100% on each channel. You may want to start with less than 100% as your top speed and work your way up. I would run the wavebox independently and it should go on one side aimed clear across to the other with as few obstructions as possible. Turn the knob slowly until you get a single wave with a crest on one side, trough on the other. Fine tune it to get the maximum height.

Thanks roger, would you recommend the wavebox in the front corner as stated in the manual or middle of the side pane?

It really depends on what works best for you, where you have the clearest side to side shot for flow.

By chance could I get a copy of the pdf manual's for the 6100's, wavebox and the 7095 controller. Email is realviper24@hotmail.com
