6100 with a 6200 shroud, advantages & disadvantages?

[reef_doug]

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a 6200 shroud on a 6100 stream?

Wider flow and a shorter reach- instead of 7 by 2 ft it is 5ft by 2.5ft.

What is the part number and cost of the 6200 shroud? What is the best way to order one?

Thanks

6200.13, you can order it on tunze.com. I believe Reef Exotics and Premium Aquatics may stock them as well.

Roger quick question would this be a better setup for my tank? 60x18x20.
Currently I'm running 2 6101 with the controller in this tank and in order to keep the sand in place i have had to use the jumper fuse for the lower setting, if i were to use the 6200 shrouds on my 6101's could i then bump the flow back up?
I hope that all makes sense.

It could work but these shrouds are not cheap, the price actually came down with the new price list but they are still about $45 each. Occasionally I get used ones or a shroud with minor shipping damage.
