Tunze 6060 or 6000 for a 58

Hi Roger,

I'm thinking of getting a Tunze for my 58 gallon (36x18x21). I plan on keeping mostly LPS and eventually SPS in the far future. Is the Tunze too much for this tank? I believe I can dial down the 6000 and would like to get this for future upgradeability.

I will have about 1-2" of sand using southdown sand.

I think it is too much. LPS don't really seem to like the higher flow and it will be hard to set up low flow or indirect flow zones in a 58. I would also anticipate problems with the sand. It is not impossible but I think you would be better off with a 7300/2.

Thanks for the advice Roger!
