Tunze suggestion

I'm wondering what the best combo of Tunze powerheads for my 110 reef. I would like them to be controllable with my Reefkeeper Lite system.

It's a 4' tank and 31" tall with about 130 lbs of rock.

- Controllable w/RKL
- SPS, LPS
- 4' tank, 31" tall

It depends on your budget.

a 6105 will make a shallow wave in a 4ft tank, a 6205 will make a nice size wave. Adding a couple of 6055's over the sps will create a nice current.

Would a single 6105 be enough? Are the 6055's non-controllable?

6055's are controllable.

One 6105 will not be enough IMO. Supplement with at least one other pump for current.

Great. Thanks for the info. There are so many models of the Tunze's it gets confusing.

I've got a 6105 and 2 6055's running on a 100g tank corner pentagon tank. I'd recommend at least one 6105 and a 6055 or 2 6105's. It may depend on how many different points of flow you might want. It's hard to go wrong with any of the Tunze's.
