Tunze 6025 for a 15 gal?

[SoKaL ReeFiN]

I'm setting up a 15 gal. (mainly lps & soft corals) and was wondering if a Tunze would be too strong for it? Or maybe I should go with 2 smaller gph powerheads?

the 6025 would be perfect I have a 6045 and am using it with SPS

That's with SPS though, I'm wondering how my xenia, frogspawn, torch, etc, will handle it... even with the less powerful 6025.

it will be a lil bit of trouble xenia will love it but the lps might be a lil disturbed

im sure if you bounce it off the glass it could work plus if you wanted to you could lower the flow with some simple revesable mods i have been thinking about.

Some of my zoas are not particularly thrilled about the flow from my 6025 in a 10 gallon. I've been experimenting with redirecting the flow so as not to blast them so much.

My tanks going to be 24" long. Thinking of placing it in the back corner pointing it towards either the front glass or opposite front corner... I the flow is dispursed but wondering if it's still too strong. No one has one so I can't see for myself in person.
