Tunze Recommendation for 240 Gallon

[LotsaTanks]

Greetings, hope you can help me make a decision. I have read so much about what the best set up is and am still confused. I am consolidating my reef tanks and going with a closed loop system on a 84x24x24 240 gallon tank, but with a lower flow through the sump. With that I need something good to circulate flow in the tank. I'll have softies on one side (leathers, xenia, clove polyps, colt, anthelia, nepthea etc) and SPS (acro, montipora etc) on the other, with some LPS (candy cane, acan echinata, brain, blastos, frog spawn). I have various smaller reef fish, too. I don't want to get the wrong equipment and have to re-work later. What is your recommendation for Tunze Turbelle for this tank and why?

What kind of substrate do you have and what kind of flow do you have now. This will give me a reference for what you are used to and help me see if we would have problems with sand blowing away.

Right now I have two hundred gallon tanks, a refugium, and a 40 gallon. I have two rio 3100's with two Seio 820's and a 3 inch sand bed in one of the 100 gallons and a return with a quiet one 6000. The other 100 gallon has a couple rio 3100's and is a shallow 12" high flat tank w/2" sand bed.

Well, I would probably suggest the following:

Start with 2 6000 and a 7095 multicontroller

You can upgrade a 6000 to a 6100 for only a couple dollars over buying the 6100 to begin with by just changing the transformer. I think in the end you will want 1 6000 for the soft coral side and one 6100 for the SPS side.
