Tunze Placement for a 75

[stevedola]

I purchased 2 6000 with multi controller for my new mixed sps 75 gallon reef tank. Im having a problem finding the proper placement for the streams. Depending on the setting I can have a sandstorm in my display. Is there a recommended placement for my application? Thanks in advance for any help.

You want to use Interval one so only one is running at a time. I would place them in the back corners aimed diagonally to the opposite front corner.

If you have these on magnets, I'm curious on how to make them diagonally face each other? The tunzes on magnets seem to have limited rotational ability.

Thanks!

Seems to be working well. Im using the interval 1 but Ive placed the streams in the front and faced them to the back of the tank inorder to decrease the sandstorm. The corals are getting good flow with 40% power but now i have to rescape the coral placement to make sure that the LPS dont get too much flow and wont open. Do you know if its possible to have too much flow for SPS (monti cap. inparticular)?

Caps are a lower flow SPS in my experience, just slowly work up the flow and it should be OK but it is possible to cause tissue damage with too much flow at first.

cyclgrl- If you put the magnet on the side wall in the back it should be possible, also when we get the new 6080.23 posts it will be possible from the back with this part.
