Flow for 75 gal.
4 more days until I pick up the tank  !
What should I do for flow?
THe tank is a 75 long. Ill probably have a ssb in the display and a remote dsb in the sump.
I was thinking about tunze streams. Will 1 6060 stream be enough or should I get 2?
I think they do 1,600 GPH/
Any other flow syggestion are appretiated.

I have (1) Tunze 6080 and (1) Tunze 6060 in my 75 gallon. They provide a LOT of flow!!!!

Have you looked into the new koralin propeller pumps? Much cheaper than tunze and they have a built in mag mount. A friend of mine just bought some and can't stop raving about them.
What kind of corals do you plan to keep? What lighting setup do you plan?

Given any thought to the Wave 2k either for flow?!? Your tank may be a good experiment for something like this and way cheaper than the Tunze (I think you get something like 5000gph or more from one unit). Could be a cool study to do.

Ive decided against a closed loop due to power consumption concerns from an external pump.
