Good morning! I have two 6055s on a 30x24x16 tank. The problem I have is that even quite coarse sand gets blown around. I was thinking that if I switched the housing to the 6095, the wider flow would be gentler on the sand. I don't really need the reach of the more focused flow of the 6055. If I proceed, will it work better if I use the 6095 propeller too?
 
For what you want to do, I would only change the housing, changing the propeller will make the pump stonger, almost equal to a 6095, so this might return the issue of the sand blowing around.
 
Cool, thanks, I'll start with the housing and maybe down the road when the acros fill in I'll up the flow with the props
