Flow and pics of 120?

yellowtruck75 · #1 10/26/2007, 02:20 PM

I just downgraded my 125 to a 120, went from 6' length to 4'. Would a Tunze 6100 and a 6000 be adaquite flow for a 4'x2'x2' sps tank? Also does anyone have any nice pictures of a 120 SPS dominated tanks with the same dimensions?

Can I run just two 250W MHs over this tank?

Thanks

i run 2 250's over mine, seems to be plenty of light, i also have 2 36" t5 actinics, but thats more for looks than anything else.

im unsure about the tunze, i run 2 6025's modded, and one seio 1100, seems to be enough for me, but my colonies are still small, might have to upgrade once stuff starts growing.

Here is a recent picture of my 120 sps tank.

I have 2-250 watt MH in Lumenarc Mini reflectors supplemented by 2- 95W VHO superactinics.

Flow is provided by a closed loop powered with a Sequence Dart.

Here is mine before I lost almost all of my Acros this summer:

That might be enough flow with your return but I don't have any experience with the controllable Tunzes so I'm not sure.

That is a fair amount of flow. You will probably want more later on, though. Honestly, I would go for 2 6100s as opposed to the 6000.

I wouldn't call it a downgrade going to a 120 from a 125. The dimensions of a 120 are better IMO for a reef tank due to the increased depth. Anyway, I use 2 vortechs on my 120 and I have all the flow I'll ever need. Kind of pricey, especially with the new wave controller, but its well worth the money. I don't have any recent FTS's sorry.
