6055 or 6095 for a 36" Cube

[glinton44]

My Reef Tank is a 36 Cube (36x36x27) 150 Gallon with a Corner overflow. The tank is in a Corner of the room so it is viewed from the front and one side. There is plenty of room in front and behind the rock so what location would you suggest for placement of the powerheads? With just a 36" distance from side to side would a two 6055's be enough or should I go to a pair of 6095's? I plan on using them with the 7096 Controller.

PS - Hopefully I can find a package deal or Christmas sale online somewhere.

Thank You Greg

In terms of pump size 2 6095's will definitely be the way to go. I do have a concern about mounting. The stock magnet holders will only hold on up to 1/2" and the maximum the extension will upgrade it to is 3/4". If the glass is thicker than 3/4" we wouldn't have a larger enough holder and if thicker than half you will also need a 6025.501 for each pump.
