    I would be very tempted to go with the MP40s
    I know the tunze have pulse mode etc
    but the MP40s seem to have more options on flow patterns

    I'm partial to the mp40s but I never used the tunze. The small foot print of the mp40s is nice too.

    you have a pretty long tank. A MP40 may struggle to blow water over 4'. They both put out the same flow however the Tunze has a smaller output, thus it shoots the water in a narrower pattern yet longer distance. Keep in mind that there is a new nanostream 6095? that puts out the same flow as the 6100 so most likely the 6105 will be discontinued. If you hold off you might be able to get a better deal on the 6105 or simply choose the smaller size of the nanostream. The nanostream motor is definitly smaller than a MP40.
