92g Corner Unit

edouglas · 08/07/2005, 06:56 PM

What pump should I use for a 92g corner? I have a frogspawn, torch tip, 2 Acropora, leather, pumping Zenia, and some button polyps. I currently run (4) 900 maxi-jets and a mag 9.5 in the sump. I have the maxi-jets on a red sea wave maker. I would like to go to the stream 6000. Also where would you mount it?
I am also getting ready to set up a 180g which will also have a mixture of corals, but mostly SPS. What would you use for this set up. Thanks for your help.....

LPS like frogspawn with their long flowing polyps do not do well in a Stream current, they like a very indirect flow. If you use a Stream it will need to be sheltered sufficiently from the flow. The Streams are designed with SPS and leather corals in mind. Assuming no anemones and few or no long polyped LPS a TS24 or a wavebox and 6100 are ideal for the 180. For the 92 I would say 2 7400/2 and a 7095 and alternating the pumps would be better for your inhabitants.

Thanks for the reply.... On the 92 Should I put them in the back corner facing the front center glass? I have a frogspawn and torch tip in the left front corner. I could set one pump over top of them blowing away from them. What do you think?

Yes, back corner to front center or one of the corners.
