Midwest_Killa · 07/24/2009, 10:39 PM

I have a pair of Maxi-Jet 1200's wtih the sure flow 1600 mod kits on them but i like the sleeker magnetic look of the koralia"s. so i am gonna swap them out.

So on my 75 gallon (48"x18'21) which koralia's would you go with 2's 3's 4's ??????????????

What do you plan on keeping in the tank, and what is in it currently?

For instance I have a 75g, I have had up to 5-Seios in it and currently have two Vortechs.

Koralias are by far not the best powerheads, but I use them and haven't had much problems, they work great for the money and are cheaply replaced if they stop working. Currently in my 75 i'm using 2 4's and a 2. Its a lot of flow, but hey, you can never have to much. I don't know the exact number but in the ocean the flow rate would be comparable to somewhere around 15000 gph.

personally i like tunze powerheads, however your maxi-jets are great as well, i also have 2 1200s, they are great for flow, why change them?

I am using a MP40w and a MP10 to supplement it in my 75G mixed reef tank.
