Question about second tunze

[wooglin]

I have a tunze 6010 kit on the left back side on my 75 gallon, and a Rio Seio 1500 on the right back side. I would like to replace the Rio. Here is my question would I be better served adding an additional 6000 to the right back side and the multi controler, or instead adding the wavebox the the back right corner. Either would fit and the cost is roughly the same. I could save money by not doing the multi controler but instead running both 6000's off a single controller if you think that would be an good solution. If I could get them to alternate on the single that might be a good solution, but I am intrigued by the wave box.

Is this too much for a 75?

Tell me more about your inhabitants and the layout of the tank- particularly where is the overflow box, corner, center, offcenter- 1 or 2?

The top half of my tank is SPS, middle and bottom is clam and lps with some softies. Nothing except the clams an a large frogspawn in the middle is intollerant of direct heavy flow. The froggie gets fairly heavy flow now, and does fine, the clams are in on the sand, and two croceas are in the middle. Here is a diagram of my tank.

My tunze is on a cycle for half power to full power, and at night goes to half power (i have the light sensor).

I think you will be happy with the wavebox. I would redirect the 6000 to be pointed at the current impact point for the Seio.

Here is a picture of my aquarium as it is currently aquascaped. I was thinking of placing the wavebox in the back right corner, but am affraid it will be so close to my corals what do you think?

This picture is a little old, but not much has changed as far as my coral placement. As it is arranged the box would just fit in the right back corner. I have alot of large corals that worry me they are all very well affixed (actually they have all become parts of large rocks work). Still I wonder if it might be better just to get perhaps a second 6000 and alternate between the two, or even upgrade the driver on my 6000 to a 6100 and get a second 6100 with the split adaptor for the single controler (can they alternate if you do that), or get the multi controler.

Based on the photo, I have to agree, there is not much room. The other problem is there is not much clearance at the top for a wave. Get the 6000, I do suggest the multicontroller instead of a branch or second single controller.

Thanks I will start saving up...
