Hello! I'm planning 2 aquarium additions to my system (below). What pump/pump combo would you recommend for each?

Assume no cost, size, efficiency constraints (focus on best flow only), and assume sand blowing around is no concern.

  1. SPS: 48" x 24" x 12" (tall)
  2. Softie/LPS: 48" x 24" x 12" (tall)
Thank you in advance for your help, recommendations, and feedback!

I think in both cases the 6075 ORCA could easily do the job, one for the softie LPS if you can center it on the back and possibly 2 for the SPS. If you were going for the best option, that would probably be it.
