Suggestion for flow in my 300g

[cantonreef]

I'm cycling a 300g (96" X 30" footprint) and would like to get suggestions for the recommended types/placement of pumps. I currently have two 6105s, two 6100s and a 6200. Also thinking of purchasing a couple of the 6095s. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I am not sure the 6095's are a useful addition, long term I think 4 6105's would be the ideal. A pair of 6255's would be another option.

I was thinking of placing the 6095s on the back glass. So that's not a good idea? Could I place the two 6105s on one side and the 6200 on the opposite end (at least until I get a couple more 6105s) or should I use the two 6100 and the two 6105s temporarily?

I think they are underpowered for a tank of this size and the other potential issue is the magnet holders being strong enough. For the 6105 you can get much stronger magnets if needed. I think you need at least 4 pumps of your present assortment, it could be 2 6105 and 2 6100 or a 6100 and 6200.
