i have a 60 cube 24x24x24 i am planning on making it a barebottom sps tank. as of right now i was planning on doing a closed loop with a oceansmotion for the main flow. but with the cost of electricity that and the stream ended up being about the same price. which stream would you recommend for my tank. i would like to actually have 2 one on each side of the overflow hitting the front glass.

I think just one 6000 is pretty much extreme flow in a tank that size and I wouldn't suggest 2.

would two 6080s be to much in your opinion? i think im going to go with the oceanmotion also so that would give me the switching currents and id use the constant tunze just for extra flow

I think you need to find someone using these pumps before venturing into it. I would never recommend even a 6000 even on a 60 cube but seeing as yours is bare bottom SPS I am making an exception. One pump should be all you need as the tank is not large enough for 2 and the flow will bounce back on itself and cover the whole tank 2 times over.
