I am setting up my 320 (116 x 23 x 27), yep that 9 1/2ft long. My setup is going to be a FOWLR. I was debating on getting 2 of the Tunze Turbelle Stream 6125 to provide the movement in the tank. Someone mentioned that I might want to get 4 of the Tunze Turbelle nano stream 6045 and put two in front and two in back. I want to have good flow throughout the entire tank. Any suggestions are welcome. I will also be using a mag 24 for a return pump from my sump. My LR will be stacked in the center to allow the fish to swim around it in a circle pattern.
Which powerhead to go with

I would go with 4 6065, the 6065 and 6125 have the same reach, about 5ft, the 6125 is just wider flow which you don't need. 6045 is way underpowered, it reaches only 3.5ft and the flow is 18" wide. You could start with 2 6065 and add more later, a lot will depend on fish you plan to keep, for instance you need a lot more flow for many cooler water or surf dwelling tangs and angels than you would for triggers and eels. The last issue is the glass thickness, 6065 will hold on up to 3/4", 6125 is up to 1", if the glass is more than 3/4" this may justify getting the 6125 as by the time you upgrade the magnet holders the cost will be about the same.
