Help with Wavemaster or Tsunami

[oimate84]

Im setting up a 135gal, and need help with which wavemaker to go with...As far as powerheads and pumps go, its going to be connected to an AquaClear 5000...I dont believe I would need any more current then this pump puts out already....Is it alright to hook up a Wavemaster to only 1 powerhead, or would I need more?? thanks...

What kind of flow does an aquaclear 5000 provide? Is this a FO tank?

The more current the better On my 75g reef, I have a wavemaster pro with 4 maxi jet 1000 powerheads. Puts out an awesome current. Definitely go with the wavemaster. Also, on a tank that size you may want to look into the Tunze Turbelle pumps. I have a friend who has one on his 180 gallon reef and it puts out amazing current! Wide output and strong current. I wonder if you can put the Tunze Turbelle pumps on a wavemaker?

One at the top left rear, one toward front left middle, one in right rear corner and one on right middle toward top. There is no increase in heat at all. Those aren't the only submerged pumps I have (also have pumps in sump that power overflow and protein skimmer). No heat increase.
