Roger-
I was wondering what settings i should try if I want to temporarily use both a 6000 and a 6100 on my tank with a multicontroller 7095.
My tank is a 60" x 30" peninsula, and both streams are to be mounted on the same shorter non-viewable side (one near the left longer pane, and one near the right longer pane) pointed straight out towards the other 30" viewable side . I wanted to use the mulitcontroller to pulse the streams back and forth. My thought is that the current from the streams would 'wrap around' the 5 ft tank somewhat and cause some random turbulence at the viewable end where there are no powerheads (as another side note, I do have my return plumbing at the viewable end pointed back towards the streams, but it is not nearly as much gph, maybe 600-700)
Currently I already have a 6100 in the tank in place on the right side. Because it so overpowers the Seios and other powerheads I have in place of a stream on the left side, the sand on the stream side blows away a lot and uncovers the glass at the corner of the viewable end. I turned the gph down somewhat using the little screw in the driver box, but the sand still gets moved around in that corner.
I have a stream 6000 I will be removing from another tank soon. I want to temporarily use it in the new tank until I can get another 6100. But I want to avoid the sand getting uncovered on the 6100 side like is happening now. Is it possible to pulse the 2 streams by different percentages to try to match their gph better? Any other recommednations for what I'm trying to do?
