Hi everyone, here's my tank. Pic is a few months old) and there has been growth and additions since. I am in the process of removing the sand. It's a 5x2x2 ft which will be 90% sps.
I have 2 x 6105s but I am starting to suspect I am not getting enough flow, mostly because of how the scape is put together. The top left hand shelf is growing out and not a lot of flow is passing beyond it from the left 6105. I am also not sure I am getting a lot of flow on the front lower shelves either which are also filling up.
I am considering two addition pumps lower down in the tank and towards the front to service those two shelves.
I'm not sure if I should get another two 6105s or if this would be overkill or if I only really need two 6905s. The flow rating seems right but I'm concerned they are undersized. The third left field option for me is the stream 3 but I'm not sure if it could work with my current arrangement. Possible I could use it to generate a wave motion and get the 6105s to provide the turbulence?
Grateful for any and all opinions (@rvitko ?). Want to stick with Tunze because I have a Smartcontroller and love them.
