Tunze Product Suggestions for New Tank

[BobbyB]

I will be receiving a new 95 gal. Qtr. Cylinder (36x36x24) tank soon and was wondering what Tunze products would work the best for me.

I believe I will be keeping SPS, LPS corals, Live Rock fish of course.

The tank will have (2) 1/2" returns powered by (2) 3-MDX Little Giant Pumps.

I would like the wavebox, but am not sure if it will work well in this tank configuration. Any help is appreciated.

I don't think the wavebox is a good choice for this tank design. I would lean toward 2 6000 Stream with a multicontroller.

Roger,

Thanks for the quick response!

Given the tank is pie-shaped, where would the units need to be placed for optimal results. Are the magnets needed?

I will problably 2" of live sand on top of plenum (eggcrate/pvc) for 1 1/2" height. Would sandbed be disturbed?

Would the two returns I have and 2 power streams be too much together?

It is hard to say if the sand bed will be distrubed but I don't think a plenum will work with only 2" of sand, you might check into that, you need at least 4-5" of sand to use a plenum. The flow should be fine and I would place them on the side walls aimed to the front center of the curved piece.

As for the magnets, if this is acrylic or perimeter braced glass that would make installation easier. Otherwise you need 3000.26 brackets to install on a braced tank.

Roger,

How far down from top of tank would units need to be placed.

Also..could you please tell me ALL the component part numbers needed for entire setup including magnets.

Thank you..
