Turbelle stream 6060 work for 90g (48 inch length)?

[Trigeek]

Would this pump provide sufficient flow (along with return pump) for 90g, 48 inches in length, sps corals? I'm just starting out and could add another in the future on the other side to alternate currents. Also, is this unit plug and play? Thanks for the info on your products.

I used a 6060 on my 75BB tank and it gives off alot of flow but there's still a few dead spots in the tank. It is also plug and play, nothing else required besides putting together the mounting bracket which isn't hard. Two 6060s would be good on 90 gallon if you keep SPS. Two 6000s would be better since you would be able to control the flow though. The 6060 and 6080 are more meant for FOWLR and cichlid tanks.

As Andrew said, it would work but generally you want more randomness to the flow to avoid dead spots. The 6060 would be good in combination with a Sea Swirl or Wavy Sea or a Wavebox. 2 6000 and a multicontroller would also work well.
