Pump selection help

What would be the ideal setup for a mixed reef. Tank size is 78x28x25 roughly. I currently have one 6055 and would like to replace the other powerheads in the tank. Would using 2 or 3 6055s do the job ? Also can you recommend where to place the streams. Thanks

In a tank that long I would a least get 2 6101's or 6201's and a 7095 controller, and place them on opposite sides of the tank to start. I have 2 6100's and 7095 in a 72" and they work great.

I agree with Curtis, I think realistically you will need 4 6055's which is equal in size, heat and energy to 2 6101's which is cheaper.
