Tunze Stream for 55gal?

[msmello]

After reading all the wonderful reviews this products receives, I am interested in getting one of my own. I have a standard 55gal tank, with about 2 inches of substrate. I currently have a small powerhead on one side of the tank and the outflow on the other. Will a Tunze be too much waterflow for this size tank? If not, could you please tell me what model I should look at purchasing? BTW, I have all soft corals, an anenome, and a pair of pipefish for now....

TIA,
Stacey

It is absolutely not appropriate for the pipefish and in such a narrow tank will create too much turbulence as the flow is designed to fan out about 2' across. I would recommend a 7200/2 with a single controller and use a filter sponge over the intake to help protect the pipe fish.
