I'd look into Tunze products. A couple of streams would really be nice. Especially on the controller.

I just purchased a couple of Tunze 6100's with a multi controller for my 120g, I'm hoping that will be enough.

Instead of tunze, you can go with the new koralia 4s. Only 8.5 watts for 1200 gph and 3 times cheaper than a 6100 tunze, so you get more flow than the 6100 by far and less electricity.

In my 120 I plan on having 2 maximods, or korilia 4s, and 4 maxi1200 on a wavemaker. Mag 9.5 or 12 return

The tunze that you should get if you got tunze should probably be the controllable ones from what people have said, and that's the 6100s and up I think starting at around 300$. |

Ya, the 6000 is controllable, I was thinking of the 6060. The 6000 is good if you have the extra money to spend, otherwise go with 3 koralia 4s for the same price I would think.
