Roger or whoever else can answer this I appreciate all the help in advance. I am currently setting up a 185 gallon (60x30x24) sps tank, and I have 2 6105s and a return pump that will give me right at 1200gph. One of the 6105s has the 6205 shroud as well as the 6105 shroud, and I can get the 6205 shroud for the other.

I have a couple of questions. First of all, will this be enough flow for an SPS only tank, and secondly, how would you set up the pumps? The returns are in the center overflow, and I have 2 of them. I was thinking I should have each tunze in the rear corners of the tank both aimed at the front center of the tank. Would that be the correct configuration?
 
Aim a bit past front center, half way between center and far corner is ideal, this minimizes deflection and creates a rolling current. Otherwise, you have enough flow and I would use a program like our Interval 2, this would be the ideal.
 
Also, should I use 6105 shrouds or 6205? Last question for now, with the 6105s set up the way you suggested, where should I aim my to returns from my center overflow? Thanks Roger!
