I have 2 6101's in a 135 and love them, although I will say that they can be a bit much at times kinda sucks in a tank only 18in wide, hope to be upgrading to a 180 or 220 soon which is 72"x24"x24" that extra width will be nice

Tunze pumps

I have three 6100's and a wavebox in my 220 and couldn't imagine it without them. I recommend them because you can always dial them down in strength. Better to have the option of more flow if you want it.
Just my opinion though. Enjoy.

cant agree more with "coralreefer2110" I love the pumps and just switched mine from the 24v chip to the 15v and made adjusting flow in my tank A LOT easier and since Iam planning a 180 or 220 upgrade can always change them back for the wider tank

Genzod66,

Go with 2 6101's and you will be perfectly happy. They would work well in your tank. You will have to search a lot to find the 6000's I would think, since they dont make them anymore.

Theres not a huge difference bewteen the 6101s and the 6000's. I would save the money while they're still around.


P.S. I love my Tunzes
