One Tunze 6055 or 6095 for 75 fowlr possible?

[joecc]

Sorry for the noob question.

I'm setting up a 4' 75G to begin as fowlr with LPS corals MAYBE down the road.

Instead of buying two Koralia's or two Tunze 6045's now, I was thinking about buying just a single Tunze controllable 6055 0r 6095 for the fowlr set up and then adding a second 6055 or 6095 if I end up going LPS down the road. I'm trying to avoid having to totally upgrade to new powerheads If I decide to go LPS.

Does this make any sense? Will a single 6055 or 6095 be okay for a 75 fowlr or will there be problematic dead spots with just one PH? If okay, should I get the 6055 or 6095? I read the 6095 has a wider stream than the 6055.


Thanks!

Joe

One 6095 for FOWLR, then + one 6055 for LPS

I have two 6095 on that size tank. Their powerful and almost two much, I often run them at 33% via apex because that is about all it needs when both are running or it's too much flow.

I am with tanthiai, you could do one of each.

Great, thanks!

Any advice on placement of single 6095 in 75 fowlr?

Anywhere in a 48" tank. I don't run mine over about 44% on apex unless I am trying to blow some stuff off.
