Recommendation for Tunze Stream

[reefsociety101]

Hi,

I'm currently starting a new tank project and was really interested in your new tunze stream products, I'm planning a cube tank, 48 x 48 x 24 240 gallons, I would say 75 percent SPS and clams, and 25 percent soft corals polyps etc, which system would you recommand. My return is going to be two 3/4 inch sea swirls pointing towards in the back mounted on the front of the tank as my returns from a dolphin 2700 and I was thinking about Tunze's running in the back facing towards the front, I ready to make a purchase but im confused and would like advance on what I should run. Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated. Oh I also plan on keeping some anemoes and xenias toward the lower part of the tank. Any advance from tunze of reefcentral members is greatly appreciated!

Roger,

These cube tanks are cool but always a bit of a challenge. I would suggest starting with one 6000 and seeing what you think, you have two sea swirl which will add quite a bit of flow. Hold off on a controller- if the one pump seems to suit your needs just get a single controller, if you think you need two add a multicontroller and a second pump.

Thanks...

I was just thinking of reducing the sea swirls down to one, 1 inch SS in the front.

What do you think of 1 SS and 2 6000 on a Multicontroller, would that still be over kill for a 4 x 4 x 2 cube?

No, that would work very well.
