I'm finally getting ready to order the Orca for my display and would like a recommendation on whether to go with the 6075 or the 6105. I realize that for the additional $50 the 6105 looks like the better option but I am concerned about the size of the pump.
My display is 72" x 30" wide x 24" deep. I've been running 3 Neptune WAVs for years but since they are no longer made and I'm tired of spending to replace them about every 3 years it's time to move on. Plus one of the 3 just died recently.
Display only has two viewing sides, the left and the front. I've attached some photos so you can visualize. My overflow is a little unusual in the it is "L" shapped and takes up about half of the right pane, though that side is only 8" from a wall so really not a viewing panel. I currently have 2 WAVs, one on each side pane. There was one in the middle back on the angled side of the overflow near the return but I had to move it to the left pane when that one died. Return is on a SeaSwirl.
Anyway, I'm going to start with one Orca on the left side near the corner and plan on adding another one at the right side when my next WAV dies. As I said, I'm concerned about the size of the 6105. So I could go with a 6075 now and then add another later, or maybe two if that makes more sense given my tank.
Can you let me know what you think?
