How many koralia 4's for a 72

gkimble · 11/08/2007, 05:06 PM

Right now I have a quite one 870 gph pump and 2 koralia 4's/ I was wondering if it would be an overkill to add amother koralia 4? Or should I invest in a vortech pump?

Ive been told by many people here that if you can afford the Vortec........then go for it, cuz its all your going to need. HTH! : )

vortech, i have an 80 gal with 2 koralia 3 in the tank, and a quietone 4000 pump at 550 gph, im thinking of getting a vortech with the wireless controller because i could be programmed to pump from 100 gph to 3000 gph in an oscillating motion creating a lot of turbulence to keep detritus suspended, the more water movement the better i always say, its small and can go all the way to the bottom without seen the freaking cord going down, since the motor is on the outside, well hope this helps

I wouldn't get the vortech. i would go with another k4 or a tunze nanostream.

In my 90gal i have:
3x koralia 4
modded mj
tunze nanostream 6045
....and a tunze wavebox.

Wavebox are really cool but again alot of $$$....
