Tunze Stream - Which One & How To

[lps]

Hi

My tank is 3ftx1.5x1.5 and I am thinking of getting a stream 6060 to create water movement at the center portion of the tank for sps. Is this 6060 a correct choice???

Where shall I place the gadget? Shall I place the stream at the

1) front corner and blow directly at the center???
or
2) back corner and blow at the front glass for the water to "deflect" onto the center???

If I use option (2), will the sandbed be disturbed and result in a "sandstorm"??

Thanks

It is generally not recemonded to use a Stream in such a small aquarium. I would recommend a Tunze 7210/2 or 7310/2- now designated TF2 and TF3. A Stream 6060 might be an OK choice provided you have all SPS and are not using fine sand. A 6000 would be an OK choice because you could electronically reduce the flow- unlike the 6060.
