hi all, i am going to add wavemaker for my 40 galllon LPS tank. this tank has lots of live rocks with bare bottom. i have narrow down my choice to koralia nano and koralia 1. i've tried tunze 6025 but it is just too strong. i prefer to get koralia 1 but still worry if it is just too strong. kindly need your recommendation.

I'm using 2 koralia #1's on my 40. It's 400 gph but it's a wide gentle flow. Skip the nano.

+1 skip the nano, get 2x K1, or even 2x K2 depednig on how you set them up on the wavemaker

I have a koralia 1 on a 24 gallon nano cube. try placing the powerhead at one end and pointing it slightly up that way it aggitates the water and will be reflected by the glass.
