I currently have a 37 gallon with a quite one that pushes 496gph but is turned down to about half. I have two maxi-jet 600's for added flow in the tank controlled by an rk2. I was looking to upgrade the maxis to koralias, and i cant decide if i should get the koralia nano (240 gph) or the koralia 1 (400 gph). the maxi's currently cycle on and off every 30 minutes during the day, and 1 hour at night. Any suggestions?? Id also consider any other pumps you guys recommended too. Thanks!
more flow??

I bought two Koralia 1's for my 55. Later I bought a 2 and liked it better. I suggest two 2's on opposing sides. Currently I'm running the 2 on one side and the two 1's on the other side with a Wavemaster Pro. They alterate every few seconds, giving somewhat of a wave effect. The tank contains branching hammer, bubble coral, BTA, mushrooms, xenia, etc. and it's not too much for them as long as they're not aimed directly at them.
I haven't had any problems with my Koralias hooked up to the Wavemaster Pro. And I haven't had any fish swimming into them.
90g - Four K2
55g - One K2, two K1
I believe the instructions say not to use them with a wavemaker, but I haven't had any trouble. They're a big improvement over the Rios I used to have. They all eventually stopped kicking on or they failed in other ways.
IME it's a [relatively] low cost solution, much cheaper than a wave box or the other propeller pumps out there, and I AM CHEAP.

well im not looking to spend a fortune on pumps for a 37 when i may end up switching the tank to a 55 anyways in the near future. What setup would you recommend instead of the koralias and my current setup which i feel is to weak? 2 tunze's are a little to strong for my 37 right??
