Tunze Pumps

[Jackie Renuart]

I have a 29 gal and was looking at the Turbelle Stream 6060. Would this be to much flow for my tank. Thanks for the help.

1600G/Hour?!?!?!?

that is like 55 x flow rate - hope you have high sides for this kinda movement

I would target 300-900 gph of flow, depending on what you want to keep. Some people go as high as 55x, so you might be able to make it work.

What coral are you going to be keeping? No way to recommend flow amounts without knowing that.

 

[Jackie Renuart]

I'll only be keeping softies and maybe a few LPS since I only have PC lights.

Thanks,
Jackie

I'd go for 300 gph or so for the tank as a starting point. That's about what I have in a 29g that's full of soft corals. Too full, actually.

Yep, look to the 300-500 range. Seio pumps are perfect for that job. Geat flow like tunze's too.

Thanks for the help. I'll start looking at the Seio pumps.

If really hooked on the Tunze + wanting to use the controller - they also have Turbelle pumps which run lower GPH.

Having a 6060 in my 58g with Acropora - it's a LOT of flow for Acropora. IMO, too much for a smaller tank [maybe for my 58] even if going with the most demanding corals.

The Seios might be a good option, and I do love my controllable-flow Turbelle ... heck even a pair of Maxijets might do the trick. Or so says my opinion.
