Tunze Pump & Controller Recommendation (48x24x24 Mixed Reef Tank)

[DavidG1966]

What pumps and controller would you recommend for a Mixed Reef 48x24x24 tank. Where would you place the pumps in the tank. How would you have the controller working?

The recommendation will depend largely on corals planned, but 6055, 6095, 6105 are all candidates. 6095 is probably the best suited for the majority of set ups and I would get 2 of them and place one in each back corner aimed just past the front center. The 6055 would be fine for softies and polyps, the 6105 is ideal for SPS only systems though you will want to turn down the power a bit (likely use the 18V setting and wide flow housing that are included).

What controller should I get for the two pumps?

My preference would be the 7096 as it is the most versatile.
