I'm moving my tank soon and am considering removing my AmpMaster 3000 driven closed loop, which currently feeds 5 points of return including two 1/2" SeaSwirls. This is on a 100 gallon tank (60x18x20). Here's what I'm considering. I would like to buy 2 Tunze 6060 Streams (each pushing 1600gph). As well, I am considering getting either a 3/4" SeaSwirl or a SCWD to attach to my sump return pump (mag 9.5). I really like the idea of minimizing power consumption. By removing the AM3K and the two 1/2" SeaSwirls, I would be removing ~150 watts from the system. The two Tunze pumps would add 22 watts and the SCWD takes no electricity, or the 3/4" SeaSwirl would add an inconsequential 4 watts, for a total of ~25 watts for the whole circulation of the system.
I'm looking for feedback on a couple of things.
1. SeaSwirl or SCWD for attachment to the Mag 9.5 return pump?
2. Any feedback on the Tunze Stream Pumps? How does their flow pattern compare to standard pumps?
