Flow for Pipefish

[KUDA]

I will be setting up a 55 gallon for pipes and a few other reef fish. I will have a lot of soft corals and maybe a clam or two. I would like Koralia powerheads in the tank because of their look and low energy consumption, but which ones should I get? I would like two Koralias, one for each side of the tank. How much flow can pipes tolerate?

I'm not shure on how much Flow pipes need

But i have 2 K3 powerheads in my set-up and really see no need for more flow than that I have 1 on the left High in the tank, the one on the right low in the tank ,

Thanks for the reply.

I have two of the large ones in my seahorse/pipe 120 tank. For a 55 I'd use one small and one of the next size and alternate current. I direct most of my flow towards the gorgonians.

Ok, thanks.

just make sure you have areas with little flow for them to "kick it" they can not take heavy flow
