6000 in new 75 gal. cube

[ratched]

Hi Roger, I apologize in advance because you already answered this once for me. I am having a 75 gal. built, 30 x 24 x 24. I have only softies, LPS,etc. You previously recommended a 7200- 7300 for me. Do you think there is anyway i could use a 6000 as I would like to try my hand at some SPS and make this a mixed tank in the future. Or am I asking for trouble? Of course, I don't want to blow my current animals away, however, I hate to find out later my flow would be inadequate for SPS's. Of course, I won't have much length to work with. Thank you very much.

The 6000 would not give much zonation, this would be bad for things that need lower flow because your tank is not of sufficeint length that it would have a reduced flow at a distance. The 7300/2 would give you a number of flow zones, close to the pump would be good for SPS, other zones suitable for softies and LPS.
