Ok I have been deciding what to do with my PHs and decided to go tunze. I have a 6ft 125 full sps reef tank. I want to create a wave with power heads instead of the wave box due to the fact I dont have much room. I do know that the 7096 controller is the newest one and can create waves but with what pumps? I have no idea what pumps to get. I have seen everything from the new Turbelle to pumps like the 6000, 6100, 6200 ext. I am a bit lost and dont know much about these other pumps. Can the 6000-6200 be controlled to make a wave in my tank? And which size would you recommend? I would like to use the 6000 because I find they are a bit cheaper used then the new ones. Considering my budget is not that big. Sorry again for so many question

Thanks

Actually, have you looked into the Eco-tech Marine Vortech MP series or PH's?

Yep some of my buddies have them and the customer service is awful . I find Roger and his team are very helpful and educated in the hobby from what i have found on RC. and plus Tunze's seem to have a lot less issues then the Vortechs
 
It would be helpful to know what your budget actually is. Minimum I would use is 2 6105's which are going to run you a little over $300 each, then you need the controller. You could always look out for a used set as well if you want to save some $. Thats what I did with my vortechs and paid about $500 for 2 mp40s as opposed to $850 new.

Ok well my budget is about 450 (used) I have seen the 6100 go for like 350 a pair is what I have seen but I dont know if I can make a wave with them...

So you are going with the Tunze Turbels?
 
Or do you mean the $500 Tunze 6212 box?

I am not sure what type of tunzes I am going with but yes I am going with tunzes. As i stated in the original post I can not use a wave box I dont have enough room. Roger or someone can you please explain the difference between the 6000-6200 and can they be ran with the 7096 controller to produce a wave?
 
If you are just looking to make a wave, the wavebox would be the cheapest option, in fact I have one on clearance, brand new with full warranty that would be just a bit over your budget. It is the older 6212.
 
Thanks roger for the offer but just picked up some 6100s that are only about 3months of use on them and just ordered the 7096 controller. Now all i have the do is figure how to work the controller...

Thanks everyone!
