Default Tunze recemendations for my new 225

I am in the process of purchasing a New 225 Gallon tank (72 Long - 24 High - 30 Deep) and am looking for some recomendations on what Tunze system to purchase.

Currently I have 3 Falsce Perc clowns, A Juvenile Emporer, and a Hippo Tank in a 90 gallon tank. As for Coral, I keep numerous Zoos, a Frogspawn, Torch Corals etc. Nothing High end, yet .

My plan is to get a few of the more advanced light/flow loving corals (SPS etc) but maintain a good uncrowded, mixed environment. (I do not plan on filling my tank with i huge pile of live rock like a lot of the classic Reefing tanks, but having smaller groups of rock with swimming lanes for the fish etc.) I will also be going barebottom or 1/2 inch sand bed.

I would like to get a Wavebox and at least 1 6100 Stream which I understand can be slaved off of the wavebox.

Does this sound like it will be enough flow or should I add another 6100 and put both the 6100's on the Single Controller.

Thanks to anyone that can help me with some advise!

Besides my return pump, I ran a pair of 6080 stream pumps on my 225. Seemed to be very good flow.

Why not start with a wavebox, and see how it goes.

If you think you need more flow then add tunze streams as required.

The 180g tank at JL Aquatics with a wavebox has awesome flow, so I think it might do it for a 225 too, especially with more open aquascaping.

I would go with the wavebox and 1x 6100. I would also go barebottom, as I have 2x 6100s in my 180g and can't turn them all the way up or my sand dosen't stay put... and it's annoying.
