Suggestions for my 225 tall

[GT]

Was wondering what you would recommend for pumps inside my 225 gal tank? It is 72x24x30.
Thanks to all who replys

What type of substrate will you have and what sort of corals?

Hey Roger, Well I have no back ground or can tell you what corals, because i am only starting out with FOWLR, but corals have my interest and I thought I want to buy a setup only once. I plan on doing corals as I get more educated and after the tank is stable for at least 6 months. I will have a 3" or so bed of sand. Sorry for the noob questions, but I hate buying things twice!
Thanks for the help

I would start with 2 6000's and a 7095 and if you end up doing higher flow corals you can upgrade them to 6100's by just changing the transformers.

Thanks Roger for the info! I read threads here and didnt want to cause any sandstorms, but be ready for the corals later.... Because I know there coming!!! (hehe). Thanks again for you input and help!

what is the cost to upgrade the transformers (2 6000 to 2 6100)?

about $73 each.
