Sell another bike, and go for option #2.

What about what Tony mentioned - one pump per pair of outflows?

( And - What about these "penductors?")

If only it were that easy Alan. I don't make any commision so I could sell 10 more bikes and it won't matter

The one pump per pair of outflow's sounds good but I would need to take the tank down and drill an intake for the pump. Not sounding fun.

I am thinking about the stream's but I will give it some thought.
I would like to see these penductor thing's when you get one steve.

Sent you a pm steve as well.

cheers

Are you sure? I don't think you necessarily need to drill a new hole for an intake. I don't know when I can come over (not until next week) but I want to look at this with you because I think we can come up with something.

Sure Tony,
Sounds good. I am almost going to order the stream's but I will hold off.

I have a deal pending with steve for 2 mag 18's. How do you feel about that? I'm not sure the mag 18's would be much better with the head pressure. as well they are electricity suckers

1200 gph will only be a gental current out of two 1" holes. you need an ampmaster to get what you are expecting I think. you can try plug two holes or three and see what the flow is like from 1 pump but remember if you double the size of the hole you increase the flow capability by 4X if i remember that rule properly. I have a magdrive 5 doing the closed loop on my 25 gal an d to get deicent flow i had to go to five 1/4" holes.

Jon, when all is said and done, I know you'll be happy with the streams!!

I like #3

I sold both my 2 Mak4,s and my 3MD pumps. Just like #3, thats how I paid for my Tunze streams.

Thats all that run in my tank. No closed loops anymore. No return pumps. Just the surge from the scrubber, but its only about a gallon dump, every 40 sec.

I do have a Mak4, driving my beckett. But it takes from one overflow and returns to the other, so not much current developed from it.

Thanks all for the insight.

Now a big question do I go with the 6060 stream's or the 6080's. I don't really want the 6080's just because they are more money but if that's the reccomended way to go than so be it.

I guess I kinda wanted to keep the closed loop and have the 2 6060's. I guess if I got rid of the closed loop pump than that would pay for the diffrence to go to the 6080's.

So what will it be 6060 or 6080
