Stream 6000 in 40 gal sps tank

Roger,

Would the 6000 stream be too much flow for a 40 gallon sps tank?

I have seen it done in a 58- 36 by 18 by 21. You may have problems with the sand bed and frankly I think with a good return pump pushing about 300gph and a 7200/2 and a single controller you will get the flow you desire with less potential problems.

Roger,

I was using a Reeftec PE-1 but it froze up. I am looking for a comperable replacement.

Our smallest Stream is stronger than the ReefTec but the 6000 can be turned down through electronic controls to a flow that would actually be less. My guestimate is a PE-1 does about 1400gph.

Roger,

What intervals does the unit "pulse" at? Can the Stream 6000 go from 100% for 30 seconds and say 30% for 30 seconds and back to 100%?

The idea behind the pulse is to produce waves so the interval is set by the user from 1 sec to 7 sec.
