I have a 140 gal and I bought 1 4 and just put it on the left side in the middle. I also mave my closed loop shooting back in from the front. It is probably to much flow for the left side of my tank but figued it would be ok for the right side.

Same here. Plus a mag 9.5 for return. I think it could use more.
The koralias have a wide flow. So you aren't blasting a strait line at anything.
