Flow question

letoan · 03/05/2013, 08:50 AM

Just got my 280 (3 sides viewable peninsula 72x30x30) up and running.

How do you guys with this type of tank deal with flow? I'm using the Tunze wavebox to create wave and trying get more flow to the other end with 2 mp40 but the mp40 stop short at around 4'.

Peninsulas are my favorite! They can be a challenge to get flow to the opposite end, but it's always worth it when you do. The Tunze Stream 6105, 6155 and 6255 would all be able to reach 72" with no difficulty. Your choice between those three will be determined by what corals you plan to keep and your budget. Let me know if you'd like some more information comparing the three.

Thanks Craig, I have an extra 6105, I'll try it later today. I assumed using the narrow flow housing right.

You're welcome. And correct.
