Vanquishxxxx · 05/30/2008, 12:23 PM

how many of them would i need for good flow in a 75g sps tank

Do you have a sump? If so how much flow from that? I would go with 3 Koralia 4's. That would give you plenty of flow. I have a MJ1200 Mod (2100 gph), MJ900 Mod (1600 gph), Koralia 3, and Mag700 (approx. 450 gph) for my return in my 90 gallon. I am doing mainly SPS with a few LPS. Someday I will replace the 3 powerheads with 2 Vortechs.

I have 2 K4s in my 4 foot long 50G. The return pump is relatively low powered, maybe 250gph. I think I have more than enough flow, just plan out where you're going to put them so that they aren't pointed directly at anything, at least for the first foot from the powerhead. They're quite strong.

I have a korlia's 1,2,and 4. I like the flow thatI get fromt hem for I start with the return pump 600 gph to the k 1 which pushes it to the k4 to the k2 to the overflow never had a dead spot any where in the tank clownfish love it.

i have 2 korallia 4's in my 72 and the flow is great. i have enough flow for any corals. i keep sps, lps, polyps, softies, anemones, clams, ect. it is just a matter of which direction to point powerheads and placement of corals.

depends on your return pump and what u want to keep...i personally think the 4 is to much i wish i would of gotten a 3 cause the side of the tank where the 4 is nothing grows in there and the fish like the otherside of the tank wehre the #2's are

I just got two Koralia 4's today for my 75 gallon that is just being set up. I have two MJ1200 that were in the tank with the new live rock, but really didn't do much for flow. When I put the Koralias in wow, huge improvement, I have all kinds of surface movement and all the detritus got stirred up off the bottom and down the overflow. I probably overkilled on the return pump, but the return is wide open and no problems so far, its a Quiet One 6000, with a 1 inch pipe and an internal overflow box. HTH
