Just stopping by to say hello, welcome and good luck. I'll leave the advice to the experts. My setup is pretty low-fi.

To Reef Central

2 6055's will work great, the 6095's would also would great also but give you a wider flow, and if you ever upgrade you'll already have stronger pumps and you can adust the flow to equal the 6055's by using the controllers. you don't have to get the controllable tunze's though but they can be a big help by adjusting the flow, setting up different waves, ect.

Great powerheads but also getting up toward the price of the echotech vortechs. I prefer the ecotechs but you can't go wrong with either.
