Sorry for the noob question.

I'm setting up a 4' 75G to begin as fowlr with LPS corals MAYBE down the road.

Instead of buying two Koralia's or two Tunze 6045's now for the fowlr, I was thinking about buying just a single Tunze controllable 6055 0r 6095 and then adding a second 6055 or 6095 if I end up going LPS down the road.

Does this make any sense? Will a single 6055 or 6095 be okay for a 75 fowlr or will there be problematic dead spots with just one pump? If okay, should I get the 6055 or 6095?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Joe

I'd recommend a 6095, the flow goes about as far the 6055, but it is much wider

Depends on your rockwork. I have my 6095 in the middle of my glass.

also keep in mind that while you have a your FOWLR running flow isn't nearly as important as when you start adding the corals. If you need to save some cash you can easily skate by with one power head until you add the corals. even then, if you have the proper power head/return nozzle placement you can get by with just the one. just my $.02
