Tunze Turbelle 6125, 100 gallon reef!

[ClownieTang]

I have been researching other powerheads from different companies, and I have found the Tunze Turbelle. I am going to get 2 power heads from Tunze. Would you recommend getting 2 Turbelle stream 6125? It says it is great for 105g - 528g, but would it still be good to get 2 of those in a 48" long x 24" wide x 20" high, 100g tank? I want this one more than the 6065(66g - 264g) because I saw the pump and the diameter for the pumps is bigger. Is greater flow realllly good for reef tanks with sps, soft, lps coral, and anemone. btw the turbelle stream 6125 is 3170 gph, and I want 2 of them!

Lots of flow is a good thing for reef tanks. How much flow is debatable. IMO, as long as the sand/ fish aren't getting blasted all over the place, you're good to go. I have a 75g with a 1050gph and 750gph powerheads. Couple that with my 600gph (estimated) return pump and that gives me 32x total water volume (75x32= 2400gph). I think the recommended total flow for a reef tank is 20-30x water volume.

+1. Unless your getting a sand storm or its all clumped in a corner, put as much flow in there as you want. Trick is to get the flow upper middled of the side of the tank, and get it going towards the water surface.

Alright, I just bought two 1400 gph Hydor Koralia's! Can't wait!
