SRC Member honzo Posted August 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2006 Judging from the equipment and the package, I feel that this is a extremely good package. Given the fact that the setup is from Aquamarin (Janet and Steve), you can be sure of good service and after sales support. :thumbs up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R u going for DSB and wht's the grade u r going for? 6200 may create a tsunami in your tank and jus hving one may not be sufficient to cover those dead zone!

SRC Member stabilo Posted August 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2006 Tunze 6200 is the controllable one rite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidjazz Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Although 6200 is controllable, but its pretty unusual for a 4 footer considering tunze 6000 or 6100 can do the job. In fact from my past experience, 6060 can cause tsunami already in a 4 footer. tunze 6200 Specifications For aquariums of 800 - 3000 l (211 - 792 US gal.)

SRC Member lyz77 Posted August 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2006 It may be controllable but he may not run the pump at 100% speed as it will be too strong liao! IMO, getting either 2 6000/6100 will create a better circulation/ wave within the tank!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Cherm, bring the 6200 back to Steve and tell him Jervis tell you so (hahaha as if... ) Exchange it for a 6100 or 2 x 6000 No point of running an oversized Stream inside a 4 footer... unless you intend to upgrade to a 6 footer pretty soon.

jervismun Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 So this is what I'll be getting in 3 weeks time... I don't know about you guys... I love it Hehe... sorry lah... this is gonna be my first tank with a sump mah... so very excited lor Can elaborate more on the freshwater top-up chamber (emm... how come I see my ideas sprouting up in AM's tanks lately ) Can also show the power management area? I want to see how they tackle that issue... in regards of safety Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintcar Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Can elaborate more on the freshwater top-up chamber (emm... how come I see my ideas sprouting up in AM's tanks lately ) Haha, imitation is the highest form of flattery! Quite a good idea I must say to incorporate the FW top-up chamber into the build of the sump rather than using a extra plastic container. Depending on the size of the tank though, you might still have to fill the FW compartment every other day. Quote saltwateraquariumhobby.com -- a work in progress!

SRC Member colinsoon Posted August 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 9, 2006 think that idea has been on the drawing board for dunno how long already.. i personally seen a few tanks with that FW top up chamber in place.. though not as nicely done as chercm's. still got max and min levels. dun think i will ever need it though. my evaporation rate is at 100ml a day. quite amazing, considering the surface area exposed..

jervismun Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yalor... definitely a very proper setup... now you need to learn more on how to use those equipments to maintain a nice and SUSTAINABLE reef tank... hehe not gonna be easy... but at least you have the right equipments already... so you are one step closer Let's learn together, shall we? (since my new tank will look pretty similar to yours in a lot of aspects) I love the way your Multicontroller 7095 fitted nicely into the side cabinet, very fitting lor Do you intend to add another Tunze Stream in the future? The reason I (and other bros) mentioned previously about the 6200 is, with a Multicontroller 7095, you can achieve much better current effect using 2 x 6100 or 3 x 6000 instead of a single 6200. If you do not intend to add another Stream, the Single Controller 7091 is in fact good enough, that will save you almost $250 to be spent on other gadgets. I've been experimenting with Streams quite extensively and nothing beats having 2 Streams blowing from left to right, right to left Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member honzo Posted August 10, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 10, 2006 Sometimes it is very difficult to say if you want to add just one more stream a few months down the road. It is good to start with a 7095. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
