Help me pick pumps

[RMMKD0]

Hey all. I’m setting up an innovative marine 50 ext and I’m trying to decide which power heads to use. Was thinking maybe 2 Nero 5 or a 5/3, one top front one bottom low or a pair of tunze 6075. What would you choose and why.

I run 1 Tunze 6095 in my ext 50. Works well.

Depends on your budget . With the small tank I would want a dc controlled one so you can tune it later.

I like the idea of 2 pumps to get cross tank flow. Just trying to avoid dead spots.

Good Idea and cant hurt.
The return provides enough flow from the right side for my system.
I have considered a Orca 6075 and one would be all you need if you can make it fit.
I run Sea Sweeps on 2 other systems. My 60×30×21 only needs 2 for complete flow control.

I’m not sure how low the orca sits, I may look into that. Thanks for the suggestion
