Those are great pumps for moving water, post a pix
Can you also shed some light on how do they compare to a mp20/mp40?
+1 Mike. These look like great pumps.
Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too.

I like the low profile of the MP40's but other than that I think they are pretty close in performance.

I just added a MP-40w this weekend. I think -- emphasis on THINK -- the Tunze 6100 had more flow. My daughter thinks so too. The Tunze seems to have better build quality (especially the controller) and is quieter --- but I do not have the right spacer, so that could augment the noise.
However, I am trying to reduce the tank junk footprint (racks, pumps, etc) so this is an interesting upgrade in that respect.
