[markandkristen]

im running 1 6200 and 3 6100's in a 220

been doing bare bottom..

i was planning on removing my 4 maxijet mods that are pointed down in the back

was thinking of doing sand again

I have 2 stream 6100 in my 180, and they move my sand around a lot. IMO i would not add the sand unless you were going to use something like CC.

It *can* be done depending on how your rockwork deflects the current. It also takes some patience to tinker with pointing your Tunzes at the *perfect* angle. Also, your sand will sift less as the sandbed matures.

I have a 180g:

Tunze 6201 x2
Tunze 6101 x1
Tunze 6080
Tunze 6060
Tunze 6025
Tunze 6045

Sand stays put :)

Your tank is 6" taller than mine, so there should be less chance of sifting if you place your Tunzes near the top.
