OK...I'm in the mood to re-aquascape my tank. I've had a rock wall for the past few years...so needs something different. I could use some advise from my fellow reefers on placement of 4 tunze 6100 pumps (w/rock covers), connected to a 7095 controller, as well as aquascaping ideas.

My tank dimensions are 24X48X32 (its a tall one!). There's a 6inch overflow in the back left hand corner of the tank and wavy sea return in the middle.

So, any ideas are greatly appreciated and welcomed...

I might use only 2 in the rock covers and place those in the top 1/3rd of the tank and place the other two on mag holders in the bottom half of the tank. You will need more flow near the bottom in such a deep tank and the Stream rocks angle the flow up.

Thanks for the info Roger.

What would you recommend as an optimal setup on the controller?

I usually like Interval 2 as the pumps go longer between cleanings when they are not shut off. Set the speeds as you need.
