Recommendation for an Edge 57 tank

[mnchartier]

I am getting an Edge 57 tank (36x18x20) next week, it will be an SPS tank. The rock work will all be centered front to back (minimalist scaping). Mainly going to be only a few choice (4 or 5) SPS corals that will be grown out to at least softball size before even thinking of fragging. I was looking at 2 6055 running on a 7096 controller. With one on each end of the tank. Does that sound like enough flow? I was also looking at the 6095s instead of the 6055s.

Thanks in advance.

For a tank of these dimensions you really could go either way, a 6095 has a more cube oriented flow pattern with 3ft of effective reach and about 30" of flow diameter. A 6055 is 4ft of reach and 18" diameter. I would probably lean toward the 6095 given the dimensions as it will be very effective. The 6055 is more forceful and better for tanks that are a little longer.
