Which tunze?

I have a 125 gallon tank. I have most SPS, an open brain coral on the sand in the middle, and 2 clams on the sand. The way right end of the tank is softies. Would you go with 6000s or 6100s?

Either would work really. Just depends on how much flow you want to have. You can always dial the 6100s down. Are you planing to use single controllers or a multi-controller? I would go with 6100s just since you have alot of SPS.

I use the 6100's on my 125. Its alot of flow, but they work great IMO.

Either set will work. If you buy the 6000 set and don't like it, you can upgrade the transformers from Tunze with the same cost difference between the two sets new.

You have BB though it looks like. Would it be too much in a DSB 125?
