tunze 6025/6045?

[yikai]

Hi, due to many ppl say i need a wavemaker....i have decided either 6025 or 6045. both are cheapest and i can afford. but i want to know, is the 6045 too strong? will it be too strong and rip my corals apart? sorry if i ask stupid question lolz. never own a wavemaker before and the idea of one blowing water consistantly in a laminar flow, i scared too strong for my coral. if its too strong, i will get the 6025. any experience with these 2? can any bros advice me what is the strength of the flow like? roughly la. haha.

also, u think AM have stock? 6025/6045? cheers ty

or u can alternatively get a tunze 6026 wavebox

haha get a hydor 2 as an cheaper alternative bro..

If no sand bed, use the strongest wavemaker if you can. 6045 is not that strong for ur 3ft tank, IMO, I recomend that you get 2x6045. My tank is 3ft by 3ft and I'm using 2x6101, 1x6060 and 1x6045 to hit the blind spot.

It would be good if you have 2 wavemakers and pointing at almost at each other to create turbulent. Just one will create laminar flow like the flow from your return pump.

6045 is ok for your tank, AM will have stock around 3 weeks time (should be the one with the stainless steel impellar)

but you must buy 2 to create the ideal turbulence as what rocky boy mention.

you will see alot of difference and wont regret buying that (been there done that )

i hav no money to buy 2 la haha! i just bought the 6045!! dam happy. im pointing the wavemaker at the return pipe to produce turbulant flow. laminar flow not good for LPS will tear the tissue. so now woah random flow. very nice! thanks all for the support (:

Pls post your setup. See if we can optimise your wavepump.

btw. isit meant to not produce any sound? now very quiet. can hear a very soft spinning sound. but thats it. normal?

[onizukaa]

ok. i have a tank thread. i will take a phto now.

where you brought bro, and the price? mind pm me ? is it the new impeller?

[yikai]

btw, isit necessary to leave it on at night also? or on only morning

this one i also want to ask, because those with controller and lower the flow at night, i didn't i leave it on the whole time... any bro can advise on this?

[yikai]

mine no controller to reduce/increase flow ah. its just on or off only.
