Wave box or streams??

[get-r-done]

I am setting up a 220 gallon tank. I would like to have a mix of softies, SPS plus some clams. I plan on having a tank turn over to the sump of 5-6 times tank volume and supplement the tank circulation with either two 6100 Streams or the wave box.

Seeing as I can not afford all at once, can I use just the wave box alone? Gettng the 6100s later. I saw the video of it and love the movement it produces.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated,

Jim

It would be better to get the Streams first that form of directional flow is more critical. You could do it the other way and get the wavebox first but the waveboxes main advantage is suspendingg detritus and a natural flow effect but a good directional current is required to help degass CO2 and carry the detritus to the filters so this is more important.

thanks for the reply. What size would you recommend for a 220 gallon tank?
