Tunze Positioning

JRFowler · #1 01/29/2006, 09:30 AM

Right, much to my joy I managed to get hold of a Tunze Stream with controller for 85 pounds from a friend..

Now I have a 4ft tank setup like this atm..

The 2 Green round ovals are the inlets from my sump, 1 of these is stronger than the other, the left one..

The 2 Red boxes are my 2 Eheim Compact powerheads that are my only other source of movement in my tank...

Bearing this in mind, where would u position the Tunze? I was possibly thinking the left hand edge of the tank with 1 eheim behind the right hand side of rocks facing towards the front of the tank...

Im pretty sure I wont need both ehiems in their, but tell me what u think... as I have on experience with these tunze setups..

I have a 6060 Stream in my 55. I have it on the right side glass, close to the rear, pointed toward the front left corner. I found if you point it too much toward the front glass, it will relocate your sandbed, if you have one.

I have mine on the right side near the overflow facing the left slightly pointed at the glass.

Forgot to mention that my tank is 6 feet long.

do you use any powerheads with it or on its own?
