As soon as I got the 6055 I did the standard and full blast mods and tested the flow to be a little over 1800 gph. I did not bother with the wide flow mod, next went straight to the super mod which used a 6200 prop on the 6055 to produce 2900 gph. I forgot to test the stock 6055 flow but believe the Tunze specs on the 6055 are accurate enough.

Based on my experience with all the Nano mods however, my first choice in terms of the best value would be, assume a 100g to 150g standard reef tank:

Four 6045s plus a Seio controller, std and full blast mods for each pump, larger 6055 prop for each pump also (trimmed down to draw 8W), you get close to 6000 gph out of them, use only 32W total, and have the flexibility of four pump outlets, and all on a same 50% to 100% pulsing flow.

The next choice would be two 6055s with a Tunze single controller, both 6055s modded with 6200 props to pump out a total of nearly 6000 gph, on a 30% to 100% pulsing flow. Cost more than the first one and also requires a lot more DIY effort.

But like I said earlier, Tunze doesn't have the products and parts available yet for us to create the above combinations.
