korlia pumps

[tony45power]

i was thinking of putting a smaller return pump in my sump and adding 2 korlia pumps like 3 or 4's? would the 4's be too much flow for a 200 gallon tank 6' long 30" high or should i get two 3's.

Fours will be fine in a tank that size.

Most people are putting 4's in 75 gallon tanks. only 2 4's might not be enough for alot of coral, what are your going to keep?

 

[tony45power]

not much coral just some live rock and small fish

My 75g has a #3 and a #2, not nearly enough flow. I'd be happier with 2 x #4's going.

I would imagine 2 x #4's would still be not enough for a 200g tank.

i have a 90 gallon with 2 koralia #4 and a 675 for my return pump. moves just nicely for a 90 gallon lps are loving them

i have a 120g with two 3's in it and i wish i got the 4's instead. so two 4's may not even be enough for you

A 4 in the main 200 gallon tank would be great. May need two or three of them. Of course, depends on what kind of corals you are keeping.

Well, I have 2-Koralia 4's going in a 65G and I was under the impression that that would be about right to have SPS corals....I am going to have softies as well, but going to place them at the bottom more out of the flow of water....is this a logical thought on this....I dont want to keep myself restricted to just sps, just lps or just softies....want a nice diversity.

 

[papagimp]

Moosetache, I went for the same thing, a wide diversity of corals in one of my 75g's, with a koralia #3, and #2 running in their, I do have alot of trouble finding low enough flow spots for certain lps and many softies. Possible to do like your asking, but you'll have to condier placment and flow direction carefully to make it work. Well worth the time and effort though IMO.

My 90g corner tank has 2 - #1, 1 - #2, and 1 - #3 with a quiteone 3000 return. Plenty of flow in my tank.

My 65 has two Koralia 4s.
You need more flow in that tank for sure.....

 

[Moosetache]

Hey Gummi....just wondering what you were keeping in your tank....I am hoping for a variety and just wondering what other people are doing in similar tanks...I have the same setup as you do, tank and sump....what are you doing light wise?

thanks

I use 2 4s in my 150g and have added 2 Tunze NS as well. Go for the 4s.

 

[jake32010]

3 or 4 would do good

 

[The_Browns]

I have 2 x #3'a and 1 x #1 in my 72g. I would definitly go with all #4's for your tank.

I have 4 pumps on my 220 mixed and the flow is just right. Only issue is that they wont work on a wavemaker like Readsea. They are great pumps for the money
