Just received some new equipment: two tunze 6055's to supplement the 6100s. I will now have 4 pumps on the 7095 controller and am excited about the possibilities! These pumps are tiny but any suggestions on the location? I also received an aqua uv 57 watt sterilizer with the eheim 1262. Lastly I have a deltec pf 601 calcium reactor that I haven't had the time to install. Looks like i will be busy trying to get these things situated. By the way, anyone interested in helping figure out the calcium reactor?

The 6055s are sweet! Especially since you can swivel and face in any direction. They also have a very smooth type of water flow. Not stream like but more wide....very nice with the controller.

LOL! It is gonna keep me busy...i'm a little weary of setting up the uv sterilizer...after reading the manual it seems like there are ALOT of ways to mess it up...by the way, any suggestions as far as placement of the 4 powerheads and the settings on the controller?

How is your rock aquascaped? Against the back wall? Or in the center? Or.....

It is pretty much in the center except for where the two overflows are. Presently I have the 6100s on opposite ends towards the front and they are facing the back of the tank wall. The 5500s are located on the back lower right and left and they are facing in an upward direction.... hope it makes sense
