Flow Q: for sps dom nano 34g

[codyreed29]

I am currently starting to build a tank 34 gallons

12 depth by 22 wide 30 long

i'm about 6 months off on this tank.

Anyhow I have a koralia 600 gph and the return will be a mag 5 with head probably around 400 gph. This tank is going to be mostly sps. I want enough flow without blowing sand everywhere.

So sps want streamus flow would it be better to go with more koralias like 2 or 3 having 4 koralias or like 2 and and vortech mp10 on low.

I think having more pumps is better than one real good one.

or maybe @ koralia 600s and 2 maxijet 1200 plus the return 400gph. that;s 2200 gph enough

Having 3-4 power heads sounds good in theory, but they will be a major eye sore in a tank that sized. I would put as little equipment in your display as possible.

A Jaboe 25 on "else mode" will suffice for you and get random flow. A jaboe nano may even work..

An MP10 will be even less of an eye sore, but much more expensive.

Keep your Koralias, but in your sump.
