just wanting to know if u guys think about 3 power heads 2 at 2800ltrs/hr and 1 3500ltrs/hr is enuf for my 6x2x2 reef tank?

Hard to say. There are a lot of other variables at play besides just the tank size.
You gotta look at the rock for one. How much and how the scaping is done. Are there any dead spots, and so on.

I, personally, would have more than 3 powerheads in a 6 foot tank.

Depends on the powerheads. If you had three MP10s you'd be fine you might even get away with two MP40s and a return/skimmer...if you have three Hydors probably not.

I don't really understand the liter to gallon conversion and am too lazy to look it up but it also doesn't help when you put your tank measurements in imperial notation and then the powerhead ratings in metric. lol
