Ok. I think I have finally settled on the SCA 66 gallon as my tank for re-entry into reefdom.

Is the Varios 2 going to be enough for the 66 or do I need to go with the 4?
 
I'd go with a Varios 4 -- you will want to look up the pressure drop due to the head height. The Varios 2 might not end up with much return flow if your head height is over 3-4 feet. Reef Octopus has this information on their website...possibly on the BRS website as well.
 
I'd rather tune it down with the 4 than have it full blast with the 2 and no room to add more flow.
