I am looking for advice on tunze powerheads. I want it to be compatible with the Apex controller but be able to cycle 100% to 30% and back and forth. So far Ive come up with the 6055 nano streams or the larger 6105 streams. I just wanted to make sure these were both compatible to be controlled like this. I heard the 6095 is coming out in Sept. So I may wait on these but wanted to see what yall thought. These are just to make random flow.

Other flow will include the 6215 wavebox and two sicce 5.0 returns which I am going to put eductors on, thanks to seeing Ace's setup. Keep in mind though I dont want SPS flow as I am mainly going to be LPS dominant.

The reason I just dont buy the 6105 or larger is the cost for supplemental flow. These will just be on the back making even more random flow. I know the evolutions are controllable but heard they are noisey. So if you have experience with these let me know. These wouldnt be powered all the way off(which is where I heard the Koralias are noisey.

If you don't get any answers here, I'd call Bruce at Aquatek or even try Roger w/Tunze. Both are very up to date with their products.

Make sure and get your pumps from a lfs. Tunze sets their retail price so it's about the same whether you order on-line or local.
