I would use the 2 bigger pumps and setup a wave profile via the Apex. Yes, they're compatible via a cheap cable.
As the tank grows, you could fill in dead zones with small maxijets or non variable speed tunzes.
I run 2 old 6100 pumps, plus a third 6080 to fill in. Works well.

Cable can be found here. 2 of those will allow you to control up to 4 pumps.

Should mention the cable(s) are all you need assuming you have the full Apex system. If you have the Lite version an additional module would be necessary.

thanks xtreme!

Going to start out with 2X 6105's and the cable for the apex and see where it takes me.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

I can send you my wave profile if you want to try it out. Works great in my 180.
