We use 2 6045 & 1 6025 in our 120. Just swapped from a 75 a couple weeks ago and so far so good.

Don't even think about the "nano's", get the 6101's live with a little larger size and forever be happy! With the 6101's and the 7095, you are done with adding any thing else in your tank for water movement. I have a 36"x24"x24" with two 6101's and a 7095, the jumper I have set is the slower one (14 volts I think) and the water movement is awesome and yes I have a LS bed (2-3"), the Nano's are well, a good try. If you are worried about the larger foot print, don't, it just will be a part of your tank. I have a Sequence Hammerhead pump for my return (basement located) but I have throttled way back, maybe 600-800 GPH (I want slow water moving through the sump/fuge and 100 gallon rubber maid water container, the Tunze's is all you will ever need! Trust the new Streams and leave the Nano's to people that don't want a controller.

I think Taylor has is right. 6055 and the 7095 controller are not a good fit. The 6055 are a good try but I am having seconds thoughts about spending $400.00 for two pumps that really limit the capabilities of the 7095 controller. If you are set on the Tunze product and have a 120 buy something other than the 6055.
Some people will tell you that they are, IMO they are not. My 6055 click every time they start. Maybe mine are defective but other say their's click too, but some people say they don't. ( I am waiting on Rogers opinion on this) Since they click and most agree you should not completely stop them, this limitation takes away about 75% of the 7095 capabilities.

Between my 120 and my 90 I think I've owned or own most of the Stream pumps, lol.
I use two 6055's in my 36x24x24 and really like them, particularly due to their small, unobtrusive size. I have a 7095 controller as well, but do not have it hooked up yet. Hopefully I can do something like an alternating 30%/100% flow pattern on each pump for variability of current. I have fine sand and they do tend to move it around a bit, depending on how strong I have the flow and the angle, but that doesn't bother me.
