which pump???

[jake ballard]

i have a 270 gal reef tank with only about 700gph. i know this is not enough circulation in the tank. i have been told to get a 6100 or a 6200. which is the best for me? thanks jake

What are the dimensions and what do you plan to keep?

 

[jake ballard]

6 ft long 3 ft wide and 2 ft tall. i have tangs and clowns for fish and i am going to have some soft corals and inverts. has been up and running for about 6-7 months.

i have 3 inches of crushed coral as the bed. the over flow is in the far back right corner and the return is at the oppisite end. where is the best place for me to place this pump? thanks Jake

 

[rvitko]

I would get a TS24 kit and place one pump in each back corner aimed to the front center.

i see the kit. loks nice and is a little more than i was looking to spend but i know know you get what you pay for and this is a good product. my question is i saw another kit that had 4 6100s but the same controller. can more pumps be added in the future if i decide to go to a bigger tank? thanks Jake

Yes. You can run up to 4 pumps on the controller, up to 8 if you add branch adapters.
