What pump?

[MRosendo]

IÃ"šÃ‚´m planning to change the current pattern in my tank, and was wondering whether a Tunze stream pump could be my final solution. My tank is 130 cm x 40 cm x 50 cm (260 l). Is it too small to use one of these pumps? Which one should I use? Where should I put it? Should I complement it with any other pump?
My return pump is currently an Ocean Runner 3500.
Another question: is it possible to control a Tunze stream with an IKS aquastar controller (not only switching it on and off, but also programming waves and low and high tide).
Thanks.

You cannot program anything more than on and off with an IKS aquastar and using it will void the pump warranty. We only allow for timers on the 6060 and 6080 at one hour intervals and a single controller or multicontroller on the 6000 and 6100. I think a 6000 would be your best choice but if you keep animals that don't like a lot of flow the 7300/2 may be a better way to go.

PS- I got your message from the www.tunze.com forum as well so I will consider the question answered here. I just wanted you to know we do get the messages and answer them.
