I previously had this tank set up with SPS and used 2 Tunze 6055s with a neptune controller. I have restarted the tank now and am wondering what I should use for flow with LPS/Softies and no SPS. What's the best setup? I am a bit more prone to Tunze over Vortech just because of the noise levels.

Thanks

Adjust each 6055 to around 600gph, and I'm pretty sure that will keep your LPS Happy!

I don't actually have the 6055s anymore, it's the only thing I sold from my old setup, though if I have to keep them throttled to 600GPH maybe the 6025s would be a good bet. I have 1 6025 in the tank now.

Yes, the 6025 will work great

I wouldn't hesitate to throw 2-3000gph through that size tank for lps.

i know you dont like ecotech but im recommending a mp40wes. i run mine on my 90g at about 65% and my lps's, nem, mushrooms, and zoas are loving it.

It's not that I don't like echotech, I have just heard that they are noisy, and I certainly don't want noise. I liked the Tunze because I just don't hear them...
