I just added 2 Tunze 6000s and a 7095 controller to my system. I am planning on re-doing the aquascape and am trying to figure out the best arrangement of the pumps.
I have a 225 gallon tank (6' x 2' x 2.5' tall). I am planning on upgrading to a 375 gallon tank (8' x 2.5' x 2.5'). The equipment and inhabitants will move to the new tank.
I keep primarily LPS with a few soft corals. My biggest corals are a hammer and a frogspawn, also keeping several candy canes and favias. I am not as concerned with the softies, but keep litophyton, green star polyps, and kenya trees.
I set up the 6000s in the arrangement suggested for pulse operation (one in the rear right top corner blowing across the back, the other in the front left top corner blowing across the front). I set the adjustment knobs as recommended in the instruction manual and plan on watching to see how the coral responds.
Is there a reason to choose the pulse setting as opposed to the interval arrangement? Should I consider the interval arrangement instead?
A final question, in installing the moon light, the M6 x 16mm screw does not seem to fit through the openings in the hose clamp. Is there some trick to putting this together?
Thanks!
Larry
