Which setup?

[reefernutz]

I have a 60x30x27 tank with 2 6095s and 2 6055s. Unfortunately I'm just short of the flow that I need for my SPS. Would I be better off going with 4 6095s or 2 6105s?

I've got LPS and softies on the sandbed and SPS up top.

Any help is appreciated.

Tough call, the 6105's are very versatile so a pair could do the job but you likely won't run them full power for the sake of the LPS. If you feel the flow is close to adequate, simple changing out the 2 6055 for 2 6095 is likely all you need to do.

Ok, I caved and went with 2 6105s. I'm planning on putting one on each end of the tank. What setting on my 6096 would you recommend?

Are you using Windows or OSX? There are some small differences in features.

I've got Windows

I would then use Interval with Idle Mode and set a 6hr interval and a 30-100% pulse every 3 seconds. I would place a pump 6-8" from the top in each back corner aimed to hit the front 4ft away.

Nevermind.
