Tunze 6100 v Vortech

[brad23]

These will be in a 280g 72x36x25

I already have the tunze wave box and was wondering which one of these combos would be the better choice?

Thanks

I have a 6100 on my 72" tank I love it, I can feel and see water movement 4' away from the pump. I have mine on a controller which, I don't think the vortech has yet. Since I added this pump/controller my corals have never looked better. I wish I had two!

For a 280, I would think you would want 6200s. I would post on the Tunze forum and see what they say there.

If it was 96 inches long I would but I don't think you would needd a 6200 on a 72 inch tank

I have two 6100s on a controller in my 70" tank. Seems plenty to me for now.

I also have a pair of 6100s on my 180, but Brad23's a 280. I'm not sure if it is 36W or 36T. A wider, or deeper tank may need a bigger model. Not sure, but it is worth investigating.

if sps, then i would go with the 2x6200 or 4x6100; a 280 is a big tank

 

[brad23]

it's 36 inches wide

36" wide...nice tank!
I would think you would want 6200s. Check the Tunze forum and see what they have to say.
