His snoring is what keeps you awake and knowing he is still alive when you are doing averaging 10km/h and 20 kms away from your destination.


back to the topic. in the 6' tank, you will need a pair of good size powerhead, doesn't matter Votech, Tunze, Sicce, Korallia, jebo, etc etc.. having a controllable flow from both directions will help to to keep everyone happy.
LMFAO!!! Get back on topic sir!

It's better to have multi-directional water flow. And 3000gph isn't that much. My tank has 2 x 6100 and 2 x 6055, a total somewhere around 9000gph, plus a MAG 12 return. I could add more...

Adding one pump will create a lot of dead areas, def need 2 or more. Tunze can also be pointed in different directions, those other ones can't. Big downfall, IMO
