Anyone out there using tunze (non stream) pumps? I'm now looking at this system for water movement in my 90 soon to be 145.

Yeah I usd those before, I got streams, I haven't done the cost effectvess comparison on those to some thing cheaper and moded, they are kinda big and you still get that jet coming out of them like other PHs it has alittle difuser but just ok IMO. I don't rember the cost but somethin like a Hydor maybe more economical in the long run and cheaper upfront?

Thanks BBZD. I've used the hydors in the past and they were ok. I'm trying to find something a little more robust I guess. I've been trying to find something less complicated than a closed loop (ocean motion) too.

Why not just get the streams with the 7095?

I've got 1 6100 in my tank now. I think 2 would be too much even in the larger tank. That's my concern anyway.

You can always turn them down, if you have a controler if you don't you can turn them down on the box? I would to 1 more and a controler if you got one and if you think it will be to much run it into a rock or aloong the back of the tank so you never have dead space? I have used 2 6100 no controler in 120 4x4x2? Never had an issue?
