chercm Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Emm.... I can see you are just running a single Tunze Stream... is that the Stream 6100? If yes, how do you like the current of just running 1 Stream? I suppose your LPS prefer it this way... can see from the way the Prata opens up it is just 6000 . running on interval 2 on the multicontroller from 30-60% Quote Humble tank : Size: 4x2.5x2 ft - Display Equipment : Return 1 : Ecotech marine L1 Return 2 : Ecotech marine M1 CR : Skimz CM122 - Caribsea extra course media with Grotech magnesium Light : ATI 8x54W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member yvoneysl Posted December 3, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted December 3, 2006 Bro in your opinion, will the 6000 cause sand storm in 100% flow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Bro in your opinion, will the 6000 cause sand storm in 100% flow? Nope... I have 2 Stream 6000 running in my tank (alongside return, flushing system & Nano 6025)... 6000 will not create sand storm if you are not using grade 0 sand.
