Which Tunze Pumps Do I Need?

[Woofwoof]

Hey all. I want to get some Tunze pumps but I'm not sure what I need. I have a standard All Glass 65. I want to control them with my Reef Keeper Elite so I assume I need the "controllable" 12 volt ones so I can use the adjustable power settings of the RKE. If I have the RKE do I still need to purchase the Tunze controller? What is the difference between the regular Tunze and the Nano. I have a mixed reef tank but mostly LPS and I have a maxima clam, about 75 lbs of rock and crushed coral/sand bed. So I am basically looking to know what model number of Tunze do you recommend, I want two of them should they be the same model, and do I need the controller with the RKE? And no I don't want Vortech's lol. Thanks

6055, they put out 264-1500gph each at $230 each. Two should be fine for a 65 gallon. Two 6095 would be overkill at 564-2501gph at $263 each. I have a MP40 on my 60 cube and only have it turned up 40% and my SPS love it.

I run 2 6095s on a 7096 controller in a 57 rimless, I love them they have a wider flow than the 6055s. The increase width is only good for about 3' while the flow for the 6055s is about 5-6 which is more direct according to Roger at Tunze. If you have the Reefkeeper with an APC (Advanced Pump Controller) you do not need a Tunze controller.
