Power head help!!

I would go with 1 wp25 and see how you like the flow, if you want you could add a 2nd, but you should not need it. On my 40 bowfront with the pump around 1/3 of they way from the top I get a great wave on W1, S2, and the dial right in the middle. I would expect that you could get the same with a single wp25, given that the pump is only running at 75% on mine.
 
What if I went with a wp25 and a wp10? Would that work? And thank you all for being so helpful!
 
I had a wp40 in my 60 gallon. The flow was awesome and I had to deflect it off the front glass. AZ is right though its a big unit and you have to decide if you care about that or not. I would do alternating 25's in opposing corners.
 
As I stated earlier start with a WP25, if it is not enough I would add a 2nd. Mixing a 10 in there is an option but they do no move the same volume so I do not think it would be ideal.
 
The 10 is designed for much smaller tanks, I would stick with two 25's. You can adjust the flow down to 75% or even 50% if you think its too much.
