setup question

[jdmhonda954]

i was looking to order a tunze stream for my 150 to replace my maxi jets because i like the stream better and like the wavemaker and tunze system better. what system would i need. i have a seaswirl on the right side hooked to a rio 2500 which gives great flow and also alternates current pretty well so i think i would only need one for the left side. what do you guys think?

What are the dimensions and the corals you are focusing on?

my tank is 72 x 18 x 24? or 29? tall and im eventually gonna have alot of sps but for now i have mostly softies a couple sps and some frogspawn torch and hammer which mainly like flow and they are on the right side so the seaswirl doesnt hit them and they dont open as big.

I don't like Streams for Frogspawns and hammers as these corals like a very indirect intermittent flow and the Stream flow seems to be too much for them, they don't open much and seem to decline. The Streams shine for SPS and leathers but for the Euphyllias I would use a Turbelle Electronic or have a Stream 6000 5 ft away or so and glance it off the glass.

would the stream be 2 much flow for them if it is on the opposite side of a 6 foot tank? or would that be ok im interested in a system as a birthday present from my mom but need to know a proper setup so if you could get a price together on a basic system for a 6 foot tank and let me know what it includes and the price i would definitely be interested.thanks alot
