Only had a 66g FOWLR previously so if anyone can think of equipment I might need, please let me know...

After visiting Coral Master, I realize I need more flow...The 4 Tunze generates just under 13000 gallons per hour but thats only 20 times...I am thinking of getting a couple of Tunze 6201 added to each end which move 5000gph each or 4 of the Tunze 6125 (3170gph) so that I can hide them behind some of the rockwork and move more water in those spots...Would be happy with 40-50 times flow excluding return lines...

You might want to wait a couple months for the new Stream2s to come out if you can. Another flow option is a Wavebox. Not sure how many you'd need in a tank your size (ask Roger Vitko on the Tunze RC forum) but I've found that a wavebox really helps with supplemental flow.

As for a Ca Rx, I've only ever used a GEO, but it's built like a rock and dead simple to setup and use. It might be better for you to dose two-part manually for now, but when your demands ramp up a good reactor is the only way to go.

Yeah, I was referring to the stream 2's in the 6125...They look really good and pump much more flow than the original turbelle streams...
