Who it is for
Good fit for
- ✓ 75-200 gallon systems, per the catalog fit range.
- ✓ About 20 gallons of mixed reef or 25 gallons of soft coral on its own.
Not a fit for
- ✕ Tanks under about 75 gallons; it is sized above them.
- ✕ Systems over about 200 gallons without adding capacity elsewhere.
- ✕ SPS tanks over about 10 gallons unless paired with more flow.
Listed features

Compatibility math
Turnover contribution
Example: 528 GPH contributes about 7x turnover on a 75g tank before placement and mode settings.
The planner adds all flow pumps together and compares the total to the reef goal.
Risk notes
- Too little flow leaves dead spots. Too much direct flow can strip tissue from LPS and irritate soft corals.
Professional fit context
- Check controllability, broadness of flow, glass thickness, GPH range, and whether two smaller pumps beat one large one.
- Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6095 Controllable (528-2510 GPH) fits roughly 75-200 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
Alternatives to compare
- Sicce Voyager Nano 530 GPH Stream Pump
530 GPH vs 528: more flow.
- Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6015 (475 GPH)
475 GPH vs 528: less flow for smaller systems.
- Hydor Koralia Evolution 600 GPH Powerhead
