kdblove_99 · 09/11/2007, 10:16 PM

i have a 60 gallon cube abd want to add flow on each side. I dont have any SPS just softies, zoo's and LPS. Would you get Koralia 1 or Koralia Nano which is coming out at the end of the month the price is almost identical.

nano is 240gph koralia 1 is 400 i just dont want them to be too bulky, thats why i was conserding the nano

What do you think?

Forgot. are the magnets fine to use on acrylic? my tank is acrylic?

dude, I would even go with koralia 3's or 4's. If you place them strategically, you can divert a lot of flow into eliminated dead spots w/o creating sandstorms.

either way, what you were suggesting above is way too weak.

if your tank 's glass is 1/2" or less, you won't bump into problems using koralia 1,2,3... since they are lighter. On the heavier Koralia 4, I bumped into problems when I ran the pump on the Seio Controller and it rattled when it ran on low power.

I have an acrylic tank. Koralia 4's seem like way too much

SO are the Magnets on the Koralia's safe with acrylic tanks?

What 2 Koralia's would you choose? 2- Koralia 2's, 2 -Koralia 3's, Etc/

Thanks

for a 60 gallon no sps cube id choose 2x koralia 3 the koralia 4 is just too massive, in fact id use one single votech and call it a day.

yea unless your acrylic is an inch thick the magnets should be fine.
