6055 or 6000?

[fast94m]

I couldnt find the answer to my particular question so i'm starting a new thread.

I currently have a mixed reef 75g tank. I want to upgrade in a cpl years to a 120g mixed reef tank, both w/ shallow sand beds. Should i get 2 6055s when they come out or will they not be able to provide enough flow for the 120g down the road? I like the easier concealment of the 6055 but i'm worried about lack of flow. I was considering 2 6055s now and adding a 6045 or 2 down the road when i upgraded to a 120g. Is this too complex and i should just go with 2 6000s and a 7095? Thoughts?

Get the 6000s and throttle it down for now or just run one until you get your 120. Less pumps IMO is better coz less contraptions in the tank, and less heat. And besides, if you needed more flow in your future 120, you could just upgrade the transformers on the 6000s to the 6100s

I just put a 6000 W/ single controller in my new 75 setup and it is pretty awesome! I, like djperezo, bought it with the idea that I could upgrade it to a 6100 when/if I go bigger.
