Powerheads for a 120 g?

bamf25 · 03/09/2011, 08:50 PM

I am setting up my 120g, it finally has water in it. The return pump does about 550 gph, and it has 2 x 3/4 swirls on it. I was thinking of adding 2 x koralina evolutions and I was trying to decide between the 1050 gph medel and the 1400 gph model. Which would be better.

I have the 1400gph ones and they're very light, not really hard flow. I'm going to get 2 more probably or possibly 2 tunze

i have a 125 gal and i keep veriety of corals. i have a mag 12 for return but dialed down half way so 600 gph return and i have 4 maxijets with mods for 2000gph each. at anytime ony 2 are on and alter every hour, so return and 2 maxis on all time that totals to 600+2000+2000= 4600 ghp flow.
