Tunze for 210 Gallons Mixed reef

[fadi_abu_tahoun]

I was looking for some recommendations on what Tunze controllable to use on my 210 gallon mixed reef, size is 72" X 30" X 24" (L X W X H)


Thanks in advance for any recommendations/suggestions.

2 6105 would be the best choice, you would have a lot of flexibility for the flow with the 2 front housings included and the 3 voltage settings. I would combine them with a 7096 controller. If the glass is more than 1/2" thick, for each pump you will also need a 6205.501 magnetic extension which boosts the hold to 3/4".

thanks Roger

i'll use apex to control the two of them.

one more question, can i achieve 1" or 1.5" wave using 6105's ?

The tank is on the larger end for 2 6105's to make much of a wave, it will work but I suspect 3/4" will be the upper end of the wave you could produce.

what about 4 6105's or 2 6155 ?

The 6155 is just a bit stronger, it is actually the pump that is in a wavebox, slightly modified. You won't have the added effect of the displacement of the box, which makes a wavebox more efficient. I would actually suggest as ideal, a wavebox and 2 6105.

thanks Roger you are the man , a wavebox and 2 6105 sounds great
