Depends on what else I run Brad. I am trying to run sumpless and powerheadless,{nice word}. It does need help. Not enough alone. I shut everything down and their was still an excellent current. Lots of rebound and movement all the way across my gravel bed but I dont think it would be enough.

Mind you, I am still playing with it. Took me half the afternoon, looking goofy at the bracket, trying to figure it out. Needed one of them engineers types.

If I ran my sump, it would be enough with my 3MD return and the scrubber dump, {which is not much}.

I would like to put another on the other end. I have to figure out my sump situation first. Because of the scrubber dump, I am going to have problems with my Tunze Osmolater top-off, just running from the overflows. Dont think it will work as the water fluctuates to much in such a small area.

Brad, I have added a second.

Aquattro · #17 03-11-2003, 10:31 PM

And is it just awesome, or?? I see you're removing the scrubber...are the 2 streams enough?
Is the second a 6100 or the 6080?

Doug · #18 03-11-2003, 11:48 PM

Both 6080. Moves some kind of water and still gentle. Totally amazing pumps. I have one on each end. The meeting of the two, sure blew some crap from the rocks.

Still playing with postioning.

Yep, sold the scrubber. Its working fine, but screws up using the overflows for mini sumps, as it fills. Cant use my Osmolator.

I,m sitting a 28in. beckett on the same shelf, fed my a Mak4, from one of the overflows.

I also want to add a second, but can't decide which one. I think the 6080, but one of the smaller ones coming out next month might do it.

brad,
if you recall i have a rather large colt colony in the center of my display.(back center)
in the future, do you think i can position a 6080 on one side of the tank, in such a way it wont blow the colt to bits?
or would i need to remove the colt if i decided to use these pumps?
