stream for 85g tall tank

[polyv]

I'm considering a few different options for circulation in my tank (85g, 36x18x30), and I think I've narrowed it down to closed-loop+Sea Swirl, PW + wavemaker, or Tunze Stream(s) + controller. This is my first tank, and I plan on keeping a mixture of corals. No DSB.

I'm leaning towards the Stream because the closed loop sounds more complicated than I'm comfortable with and the multiple PW's seem unsightly. What combination of Stream units would you suggest?

thanks

I really would not rcommend a Stream for that size aquarium. If you don't already own that aquarium I might suggest reconsidering on the dimensions. It will be a bit hard to light and the Streams are a bit much for the length. If you are dead set on it a stream 6000 could work but you would have to be doing SPS. Otherwise you should consider a couple 7300/2 or 7200/2 and a multicontroller.

Thanks. Unfortunately the tank dimensions are fairly fixed. As I mentioned, I plan on doing a combination of SPS, LPS, soft. I'll take a closer look at the other units you mentioned.

Are there any dealers in the NY City area that carry these products? It's tough to visualize how big/obtrusive they are based on measurements.
