Roger, which tunze would you recommend?

Roger and reeflovers,

I would like your professional opinion on which Tunze model and how many I would need.

Here is a little info on my tank.

The tank dimensions are:
30"width x 25"tall x 66" long (approx. 240 gallons)

I am restarting my reeftank and have 4 wavy seas plus on each corners of the tank. This will be a close loop ran by reeflo hammerhead with about 5000 gal/hr flow.

I also will have two seaswirls around the middle of the back end of the tank for my sump return pump operated by dolphin ampmaster 3000 which should be about 2000 gal/hr (factoring head pressure loss)

I plan to have an SPS dominate tank with some LPS (elegance, hammer, frogspawn)

My question is this:

Given the tank dimensions, should I go with

1) two-6101 with multicontroller or
2) two-6201 with multicontroller
3)four-6101 with multicontroller

My primary concern with the 6201 is in my tank, will it cause a sand storm and will it cause the LPS to not fully polyp out and look "meaty". Also, will it strip the tissue of the SPS that is close to the tunze? (i.e. 12" away from the tunze?)

Will the 6101 be a strong enough with just two?


Thanks in advance for your help.

I think with all the other flow you will have and your valid concerns about the LPS, I would go with 2 6101.

Thanks Roger for your quick reply.

I have an older 6100, will that mount on the magnetic mounts and work with the new multicontroller?

Yes.
