You need to state what livestock you intend on keeping before anyone can give a powerhead recommendation.

I have a 75 gallon mixed reef w/2 Koralia #4s on a wave timer & have good tank flow. Coral growth is decent & my GBTA has never moved. You should be fine w/2 #3s or 4s. If you have an SPS tank then I would up the water flow.

I believe the tunze nanostream 6025 is rated at 660 gph while a koralia #4 is rated at apx. 1200-almost double. It depends on your livestocks requirements and your personal preference.
