36" x14"x24" 60Gal tank.
WaveBox+ 6100 Tunze and will have tunze nano 6055 when they are avaliable on the multy controller.
6100 is going at 100% behind the rocks and blowing all debris out to the front and up, so skimmer picks it up nicely.
my ORP got abot 150 points up after i removed sand bed and moved 6100 to the bottom back corner.
I have one incrusting SPS about 12" away from the 6100 (@ 100%= 3100 gal /hr)
and it loves it !
I am ulternating 6100Tunze with the wave box every 15 minutes.
i like this set up a lot and white moon light that comes with it also great because it gives real moon cycle and gliters at night.

Jeez - I am going to have to break this down a bit

230g with 2 tunze 6100 on a controller with a closed loop run by a mag 9. Dual overflow and standard return from a 77g sump/fuge

190g with back overflow 2 Tunze 6100's on a controller. Closed loop run by a Sequence Hammerhead through an Ocean Motions 4 way - then split for 8 returns. Standard 90g sump/fuge with return a Quiet one 4000 (I think)

110g cube with a 40g sump. Not sure what the return pump is but it is external. Closed loop split 4 ways and again I can't remember what the pump is. Also a Tunze 6000.

20g nano with a maxi jet 900 and a tunze nano stream - I think it is the 6025.

12g nano with a maxi jet 900

10g nano with a maxi jet 900

Whew I'm going to my support group now.............

120 gallon with nothing for flow besides the Mag 12 return split into two return pipes. It is a mixed tank softies/LPS/anemones/sps.

I had a 6060 stream, it was too much flow, it blew my colt right over.

I had a Seio but stopped using it.

I would get some decent flow devices (? Korallia) except my four RBTA's would probably commit suicide.
