Koralia 1 or 2 for a 27 Gallon
 
Hi,

I'm looking at getting some more flow in my tank as stuff keeps settling out on the sandbed, but I don't want to create a sandstorm. I did have a 350GPH powerhead that was stirring up some sand, but that was a much narrower stream - it's now running my skimmer. I was originally thinking of the koralia 1, but I heard that the flow was a lot broader and more gentle so I was thinking maybe a 2 would be the way to go.
I'm fish only with live rock at the moment, but this may change in the future. Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated..

Rob.

For what it's worth I have a Koralia 1 in my 12 gallon, no sand storm but plenty of flow! :mrgreen:

Vortech MP20....you can turn them down.....:mrgreen:...a 1 or 2 should be ok.....depends how much you need/want to punch things up.

I have a Koralia 2 and a MaxiJet 1200 in my 33. The MJ blasts more even though the flow is rated as much less. I would opt for the Koralia 2 instead of the 1 if I were you.

I have a Koralia 1, and a MJ400 and MJ600 on a wavemaker in my 20 gallon with a bare bottom.

Thanks for the opinions, sounds like the 2 is the way to go, if that doesn't give me enough flow I'll just have to add another..

The Vortech MP20 looked very, very cool, however I think I could just about fill the tank with Koralias for the price! Maybe when I upgrade... :biggrin:

Personally I have a koralia 1 in my biocube 29...and i think it a lot more than enough? considering even my small LR on upper portion of the setting is shifting bak and force just from the blow of the 1...makes plenty of water movement throught out the whole tank except the back of the setting(cover by LR, so of course...)
