Will this setup be okay?

Heres my idea of current for my mixed reef. I will get rid of whichever coral seems to be bothered by the setup.

I want (4) 6060s and want to set up them up as the picture above. My tank is 16'' in height and I will try to place the "lower portion of tank" 6060s pretty much near the bottom (barebottom). The two upper portion will be pointed towards the surface to get the aggitation that is much needed.

I currently have (2) Seio 820s and (2) Seio 620s. The 820s pointed towards the surface and the 620s pointed directly at the barebottom. I find that I still have dead spots and do not want to buy more Seios and add to the custer and use more than needed power outlets.

Will this be too much for a 5 foot 75g tank? 60x18x16x.

If so, how about 2 6060s or 2 6080s? Each in one corner and pointed towards the opposite end of the aquarium walls. Like either the pair of upper or lower on each opposite end of the tank.

Why not just get 2 6000's? The cost is about the same and then you can control them. The 6060 cannot be controlled or used on wavemakers and the control capacity is what makes them random and this is what prevents detritus collecting in areas. Each 6000 is probably equal to 3 or more 820 Seios- disregard calculating flow numbers, the patterns are different and have different effects.

How controllable are the 6000s? I'm don't know too much about how the controller works, got a link to a fully detailed writeup about the controller?

Thet tunze.com website should have some info. You can control the speed of the 6000 and set on and off intervals and different speed intervals.
