Which powerhead: 6015,6020,6025??

4', 75 gallon fowlr to start and MAYBE add some easy corals and more flow later.

I would like the smallest footprint possible. Which model will work best and give me adequate flow for detritus, dead spots, etc, one on each end?

Thanks!

Probably two 6045's IMO. They aren't much more and you can always turn them down... Same footprint.

Smallest footprint would be the 6040's, which have the same flow rate as the 6045's but are DC and include a controller. The 6045's have a mechanical flow adjustment. Those should be sufficient for a FOWLR and most polyps/mushrooms. If I was doing more corals or planned on more corals I would probably do the 6055's at a minimum and consider the 6095's if you plan any SPS in the future.
