Which Tunze Controllable Pumps for 80 gallon?

[hallzoo]

Hello!

I'm currently planning flow strength/patterns for my 80 gallon rimless build. My livestock will consist primarily of soft corals and LPS. The tank dimensions are 48"x24"x16".

Which Tunze controllable pumps would you recommend for this setup?

Thanks,
Hallzoo

2 6095 would be the best choice for pumps.

Thanks for the quick response.

What are your feelings on two 6055s on this tank? I would love to get my hands on the 6095s due to wider flow, but I have the opportunity to obtain two 6055s for a good price. Would the flow from these be too direct/concentrated?

It would be OK, I like 2 6055 for tanks 60 gallon about, maybe 75, but for bigger tanks, they don't fill the tank enough to allow a lot of high flow corals. For an 80, I think they would be good for a more basic reef with soft corals, mushrooms, some LPS any SPS near the pumps.
