I have a 5x3x2 tank. I've been running 2 x 6000's and 1 x 6100 on a multicontroller. I had enough total flow but after a lot of trial and error some spots were still dead and others were getting blasted.

Well I just did some switching and got 2 x 6200 streams.

What a difference!!!!!

In a 5 foot tank and 4 inches of sand I don't need all the flow they have to offer but I turned the driver all the way down and it is working perfectly. Very wide, and noticably wider than either the 6000 or 6100.

Now I get a ton of gently flow around the whole tank. No dead spots and no blasting.

Hope this answers a question for someone with the same issue I had.

Good to hear! I have a 40" wide tank and wasnt sure which would be better.. a 6201 or 6101. I think you just answered my question. I was afraid of the sand blowing everywhere.

bebo, do you have yours at full blast?
