I am just begining to plan my next reef. the tank will be a 6 foot tank probably a 125, 180, or 210. I am wondering how to provide flow for this big of a tank. I dont realy like powerheads so if I used them, their would have to be as few as posible. i also dont want to pay for the tunze streams. i was thinking maybe a closed loop but I wanted to get some more opinnions. if i do use a closed loop, I have no clue how to set one up. show me what you guys are useing right now.

I plan to keep everything including

mushrooms
softies
lps
sps
clams

I have 4 Tunze Stream 6100's in the deco rocks. Most people cannot see the pumps in my tank until I point them out. If you don't want to pay for streams, you won't want to shell out $70 each for the deco rocks.

You can get a similar effect making aragocrete deco rocks for Rio SEIOs. You lose the variable speed electronic control, but for the money, it's not bad.

I also have 2 Tunze Waveboxes on my tank. Love those...
