Which Tunze for a 90 AGA?

b_vanfossen · 05/04/2008, 12:18 AM

I'm trying to figure out which model and how many.

I'm thinking of getting the 2 6101 kit- is that too much for a 90 rectangle? I some lps and getting into sps...

Thanks

If your getting into sps thats what I would get. In my 90 I have two 6100 and one 6000 plus a nano streem.

I use a 6080 on mine and a couple of larger Hydor,s so a pair of 6080,s or the 6100,s should be fine, but considerable current.

If costs are a concern, or a bit less current is desired, then one like I run provides it, with a little help from something else where needed. I have always been a 6080 fan, as compared with the controlled units.

suggest getting the 6101s one or 2 and play with them to get them how you want them

you can run 2 of them on a single controller also with the y adaptor but they will do the same pulsing

or buy the 7095 or 7094multi- controller or controller (aquacontroller-profilux) and adjust them the same or different

I have two 6000s on a multicontroller in my 75 (same footprint as your 90, but a bit shorter). My sps corals love the flow, as do the fish. Probably one of the best purchases I've made in the hobby.

thank for everyone chimming in. I have never seen tunze's run except on the internet. So I had no idea.

I do have and lps like frogspawn and acan's. so I was not sure if just one 6101 would do the job or not...
