I have a 135g 72" long with two corner overflows. I have two 6000 streams and I just recieved my 7095. Any suggestions on where I should place the streams and what settings would be suggested. I will have 200 lbs of love rock and corals.

Thanks

Derrick

my tank is not quite as long, but I have the same 2 6000s on a 7095. i mounted the 2 streams on opposite walls pointed down the length of the tank about 1/4 of the way down from the top. I find myself using the interval 2 setting on the controller at about a 4 second interval. works for me and my sps nicely ... have fun

I would do as jvlz73 suggested but such a short interval is not really effetive because the pulse interval is not much shorter so the pump never really gets to pulse. I would use at least a few minute interval and a 3 second pulse. I would also take advantage of the nice deflection of the bow front and aim the pumps back corner to front center.

Roger... my tank is not a bow so.... any difference of opinion?

Sorry, I read too many posts that day I guess. I would still do the same basic thing but jvlz73's positioning might be better, try both and see what you like.
