Roger..Need your help on pump selection

[HighlandReef]

Hi!
I have a 210 gallon tank and am looking to get some flow going in it.
I really like the Tunze NanoStream 6045/6055 with the magnets.
In your opinion, what would work best for my tank?
2 - 6045's? 2 - 6055's? Another pump all together?
Let me know what you think?
Thanks!

A 210 is a bit on the large side for the NanoStreams. We generally don't recommend NanoStreams for anything above 120. What kind of corals will you be keeping and what type of sand bed?

 

[HighlandReef]

The sandbed will be a shallow arganite sand bed, the bag says #1 fine arganite sand, the grains are pretty small.
This is my first true full blown reef tank so I will be starting with the easier stuff like mushrooms, polyps maybe a ric but I am sure I will have some hard corals also, sps probably ~3-4 from now.

I would get 2 6000 Streams and a 7095 controller. This will give you the flexibility to upgrade to 6100's if you need more flow later for higher flow corals.
