View Full Version : Not sure what I need

Planning a first reef tank (75 gallons - 48 x18 inch footprint).

3 inch sand bed. Starting with softies, but planning to move up to LPS/SPS as experience gained.

Was planning two 6000s, one in each rear corner pointing to the front - dialed down as needed and set up in an alternating fashion on the multicontroller. Hoped the alternating approach would get a nice sway back and forth from the softies.

After reading through the forum a few weeks back, this seemed to make sense. Based on more recent threads however, I'm concerned this will be too much.

Is this too much? Other suggestions for the right equipment?

Thanks,
Neal

Sorry - goofed before. Tank footprint is 36 x18. Appreciate any help.

That really is too small of a tank for the Streams unless it is mostly or only SPS. I would suggest looking at the Turbelle Electronic pumps which are also controlled by the multicontroller. Either 1 7400/2 or 2 7200/2.
