Koralia

[DrGonzo]

Do you guys think two koralia #3's are good enough for a 90gal? Or should I go with #4's, or one of each?

What are you going to be keeping??

I have 2 #3's in my 40g breeder

 

[DrGonzo]

I guess that's part of my problem. I'm still undecided, but will most likely do a very diverse combination of sps, lps, and soft coral.

on my 46 i had 30x the flow rate and it was too much for my soft corals.. they just didn't like it.. now i'm down to 20x the powerhead turnover and my softies seem to like it much better.

When I had my 90 gallon I used two #4.

Did you know they have new pumps With higher output and lower wattage?

They are called the Koralia Magnum Line The lowest model #5 outputs more than the koralia 4 and uses less wattage than the koralia 2.

 

[DrGonzo]

Yeah, I saw those. I guess I'm not sure if I want to spend that much right now. How did you like the #4?

i have 2 koralia 4s in my 72 bow and with all the rock i have in there im probably gonna add another 3 soon. I would definitely go with 2 4s for your 90 gallon. Another option which i wish i would have done is bought like 2 k 3s and 2 k2s so i could hide them.

Go with the 4's.I have a 90 as well but switched to Tunze.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Thanks.

i recently set up a 50gallon and I have 2 koralia 4 and a MJ1200. If you direct the flow appropriately, you can actually see the water circulate and ripple on the top side ... FYI, if you take off the cap, the flow actually increases significantly ... to a certain extent, it even caused a sand-storm ...

 

[Davidl919]

Yeah the 2 four's were good in my 90 gallon. I should go back down things were so much easier with the 90.

I use a k2 and a k3 in my 75g and they are great. I had a k4 and it would literally blow my fish across the tank, so I decided to go lower. I think it all depends also on how you setup your tank, and how much rock you plan on adding. If you load up with rock, you may want to consider getting smaller pumps for the back corners of the tank, or even for behind the rock to prevent dead spots.
