Hello, need advice on new setup...

Building a custom 48longx22highx20inch deep tank with dual external overflow. Tank is going to be fish only with about 70lbs of liverock, barebottom, with 475gph return pump (no plans for coral). Should I go with two nanostream 6095's or three nanostream 6055's or two stream 6125's or one stream 6305. The goal is to have enough flow to keep waste suspended while having as little equipment viewable as possible. Pumps will be position on back side of tank. Thanks in advance!

Also tried two Vortch MP10w and that was too little flow.

I would choose 2 Tunze 6095

2 6095 would be good, but as a fish only, you likely don't need the controllability and 2 6065 could also do the job, but they are bigger pumps.
