Tunze Question

[ZANYMASTER]

Went and got two Tunze 6065's for my 90 and they push over 1500gph each and man,it's creating a vortex in the middle.Should I down grade for a weaker model or just have one in there with my SPS?

Please,don't all rush in to answer.:grumpy:

It's hard to comment, IMO.

Based from the reaction of your livestock (really, your corals, wavy & tentacled inverts), are you able adjust the angle of the pump nozzles to find a happy medium? I'm assuming you've tried this, but if not, give it a shot. You might have to fine tune it for a bit until you get it right.

I also have a 90g w/ Tunze's. My 6055's max out at 1,453 GPH but I wish these had a little more punch. Then again, mine are set to pulse, from high to low on a MC. I keep lots of corals & a sandbed and I'm fine. Add to my mix, a Mag 17 return, a Sea Swirl and a Wavebox - I've tinkered w/ everything to find a happy medium

You should be fine IMO.

Mine are not controllable so I got a bit of sand blowing around on one side and a swirl in the middle.The sps don't mind too much but the bottom guys like my plate is getting a bit of sand on it.Really wanted to get a Vortech.

Well, have you played around with the angles and position of the pumps? I'm sure you can make it work.

Yeah,I put it down in the tank more pointing up and it's much better now,I have to do the same with the other one.Thanks.
