Flow for 20H

Arkayology · 11/23/2009, 10:15 PM

Should I use a Koralia 2 or 1 for my 20H? I am using a K 2 atm, but I feel it may be too much.

What do you plan to keep? In my old 20l I had a mag5 return and a Koralia Nano and I felt I still needed more flow. So depending on what you keep in the tank, the k2 may not even be enough.

Well, I plan too start off easy with some mushrooms, zoas and other LPS and soft corals. I have a good light (Tek 4x24) so I will get some easy SPS like montis, birdsnest and some acros.

I just ask about the flow because my coral banded shrimp seems to almost blow away when he walks in the sand (sometimes does). Also, I am a totally SW noob, but it would seem as if my false perc doesn't like the higher flow my K2 is putting out? Is this just me seeing this? I don't really know what fish like in terms of flow.

Try turning the flow into the side of the tank so it hits the glass and disperses?
