I was looking for 2 powerheads for my 30x30 cube,would the 6055's work?I am going to be using a ATB 1500 Flowmaster for a return pump,providing some flow also.Any help would be appreciated.

Amount of flow and number of pumps would of course be based on corals to be kept and rockwork. 6055s would likely be the best choice do the length of the tank as the 6105s would just end up turned way down and are physically larger. I am going to start with two in my cube as well. I think I will end up with 3 as I am running a flowstar 1500 in the basement and only getting about 300-350gph due to head pressure. In my 48" 90 I ran 4 of them 2 on each side.

I think 2 6055's is the best choice.
