Looking for some flow

I currently have 75 gallon set up and running well. I also a have a 125 sitting in the corner of my room begging to be set up. So until that happens I want to start piecing it together. I plan on using the sump and skimmer from the 75 as the guy I bought them off had the 125 before he decided to sell me the tank itself. So I am looking at circulation pumps. I was looking into vortex but after reading some reviews I do not like the idea of not being able to direct them. any thoughts on that?

I was also looking into Tunze. BRS has one called Turbelle Nanostream 6095. I assume being a larger tank, the "nanostream" will not do the job, although it does 528-2510 gph. So I was looking into the 6105 controllable. I am more so looking for opinions. What is the turnover ratio for water flow? I know my 75 is lacking slightly so I want to make sure the 125 is done 100%

2 6105's with a 7096 controller will work perfect for the 75 and the 125. How much flow depends on what corals you wanna keep, it can range from 20x - 100x +.
