Rvickto Im wondering how huch flow would be okey or not okey for my tank. Im ordering a wavebox and a stream.
Should I just forget the DBS (not a problem)
Can it work, or have you had complaints from people

That aquarium looks on the small side for a wavebox but it could be bigger than I think. It looks like a 45 tall. I would say the Streams are too much if that is the size. Give me some dimensions. A DSB has to be established for a couple months or you will get a sand storm and I can't give an expert opinion because I don't use DSB's.

I would use the 6000 Stream, at that depth I doubt the DSB will present an issue when it is established- at least 6 weeks old. You will run one at low power during that time. I think the wavebox should be added after a couple months. Keep in mind your tank isn't very big and the wavebox is 5" square and 11" tall.
