The koralia is great. For the price you cannot beat it!

What is the recomended flow for what will be a sps tank starting soon(few weeks). so far I have a MJ 1200 at 295 ghp and a my return at about 75 gph.

SPS like lots of flow, and not just plain straight linear flow, it needs to be changing and surging and twisting and moving.

Just a piece of advice, really, you seem to be very inexperienced with this hobby, do you really want to waste a lot of money killing off SPS. Even the most advaned reefers here have a hard time with SPS. I know you are young and I would hate to see you drop $100 on a piece of SPS and just have it RTN a day later.

If your really set on SPS, try a simpler SPS first, like birds nest. Try for a cheap frag from a local, its a better (cheaper) way to try out sps without waiting for months on a waiting list, or shelling out tons of money for a frag that may RTN on you.

I agree with digital_audiophile in regards to flow, you will need varied, and strong flow within your tank. The hydor works really well, so does tunze products so I hear.

I have 3 tunze nano streams and 1 hydor koralia #4 and for about half the price the koralia out performs the Tunze and it seems they put a little more thought into their design than Tunze did.

im getting the nao strem as well as the koralia#3 or 4 to mxamize flow in my tank. My plan is to put the nano strem and koralia on the ide of the tank and the MJ1200 on th back of the tank along with my return pump witch will give round 2000 gph.

Default The Following Words

The following words in your paragraph are incorrectly spelled or are in need of some massive gramerical assistance.

Now I understand that your young (And so am I, only 17) and that 1 or 2 incorrectly spelled words are ok but PLEASE use the spell check or atleast review your posts.
