tunze flow

[justinarambel]

I am new to reef central and sps, I am getting ready to start a project, Im building a 540 gallon 8ft by 3ft by 3ft I have spared no exspense on any equipment, and after looking at all your feedback I decided to go with tunze for my flow, I have two waveboxes (I got a good deal in the classified section on two thats why I didnt get the expansion slot) and I recently just bought two new 6301s from jarhead now heres my question is that enough flow combined with my sequence 4300 sump pump for flow for a very heavy sps tank, Everybody tells me the wavebox is a different kind of flow versus the streams I would just like to know what you think, and how would I point and set them in my tank, thanks

also would like to know being the tank is so deep and wide If there will be a lot of movement on the bottom as well

Justin, wavebox create wave motion not directional flow. You will be fine with 2 6301, 2 wavebox and the sequence return pump but you may need more as your coral getting bigger. IMO, the stream flow very wide, you should have flow toward the bottom.

I would add couple more stream but you have to wait till after the tank up and running and figure out where you will need more flow....
