    Default Sand Question

    These 2 Tunze's are blowing my sand all over the place. Has anyone ever put a ton of LR rubble over the sandbed to stop this from happening?There is NO sand at the front of the tank anymore, it pushed it all towards the back in mountains. Iam considering getting rid of one of the Tunze's, but i really think my SPS like the flow Any ideas?

    I moved my stream up in the tank, Dropped the high-end cycle down 20% and pointed it towards the glass. I do have a couple of rocks that it hits first. Which model do you have?

    You could scatter some course sand over the top of the sugar fine sand. I have the same problem.

    Mines mounted on the top tank edge, using the bracket that came with it.

    mine is the 6080, and ist mounted on the overflow, left side pointing across the tank. I had to take out and sell the other Tunze, it was just too much flow.
