tunze streams - for lps tank

I'm thinking of buying one of these pumps of my lps tank which contains a majority of the following fleshy corals frog sporns, anchors, torches and bubbles.

Just a bit worried that these pumps are too powerful and could damage the fleshy corals.

There are two options available
1. fixed flow
2. variable flow.

I think it would be best if I had a controllable pump, which I could set the speed. The next question: which pump to buy?
1. 6100 Stream pump
2. 6000 Stream pump

Will the 6000 be more than adequate or should I be looking for buying the 6100? I will be using the 7091 controller as funds tight.

The tank is a 6x2x2 with 92kg (large pieces) of live rock and a plenty of small fish
1. 3x 1ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ gobies
2. 6 x 1.5ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ chromis
3. 3ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ mandarine
4. 10 x 3ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ anthias


I would like to know your thoughts please which pump to go for.
 
The Stream pumps are not the best choice for these corals. The 6000 would be the most suitable but it onlty covers a 4ft area so 2 would be required. If it were up to me I would get 2 7400/2.
