Suggestion on tunze pump flow ideas

Dear reeflovers,

I posted this also in the tunze forum, but would like your ideas please.

I would like your opinion on which Tunze model and how many I would need.

Here is a little info on my tank.

The tank dimensions are:
30"width x 25"tall x 66" long (approx. 240 gallons)

I am restarting my reeftank and have 4 wavy seas plus on each corners of the tank. This will be a close loop ran by reeflo hammerhead with about 5000 gal/hr flow.

I also will have two seaswirls around the middle of the back end of the tank for my sump return pump operated by dolphin ampmaster 3000 which should be about 2000 gal/hr (factoring head pressure loss)

I plan to have a SPS dominate tank with some LPS (elegance, hammer, frogspawn)

My question is this:

Given the tank dimensions, should I go with

1) two-6101 with multicontroller or
2) two-6201 with multicontroller
3)four-6101 with multicontroller

My primary concern with the 6201 is in my tank, will it cause a sand storm and will it cause the LPS to not fully polyp out and look "meaty". Also, will it strip the tissue of the SPS that is close to the tunze? (i.e. 12" away from the tunze?)

Anyone tried using four wavyseas in their tanks? I know I can have special tunze adapters to the wavyseas, but I would like to limit the tunze to just two.

Thanks in advance for your help.
