Hi, All, I'm having a custom tank built by crystal dynamic aquarium with a demensions of 30 x 30 x 24. This tank will be a bare bottom acropora dominated tank. I have used a majority of the major branded pumps over the last 12 years from ecotech, ai, gyres but for this build I'd like to try tunze. I would like to incorporate a wavebox and have had the tanks water level placed 2" below the bracing to have a proper use of the wavebox. Along with the wavebox I'm wondering what other pumps people would recommend? 2 x 6095s, 2 x 6105s, 2 x stream 3s? Thanks everyone for your input. Matt.

@rvitko I'm wondering if you can provide any advice?
 
If they are controllable, look at gph and recommended tank size. Buy one size higher and turn them down for longevity.
 
i have 4 6095 in my hundred... 2 on each side panel.. i dont see why you would need more than 6095s in that tank... 6105 are significantly larger too. as in the physical size.. they may look big. in a 30x30. plus where do u plan on putting them

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
