Tunze's in FOWLR tanks

[Jerry W]

Just wondering who is using them in FO systems and what size is recommended. I have a 5 foot 120 gallon. Presently using 2 MJ 12's and a MJ 9, plus a mag 9 return from the sump. Looking to get rid of the mj's. What would be a good route to go. Tank has over 100 lbs of LR FWIW.

ocellaris pair
lmb

I have the exact same tank and use 2 6000 on a 7095. They produce a good flow over the whole tank. I have to be carefull though not to blow the sand around.

I think the two 6000 is fine, just be aware that gobes will sometimes go in the pump when it is off and get killed so use Interval 2 mode so the pumps are never off.
