Powerhead Size?

[The Saltwater Kid]

I would like to upgrade my power heads for better flow. Right now I have a 29g tank w/2 MJ900's...it's decent but I'd like to get more even flow and stronger flow. I really like the looks of those new Hydor Koralia Turbo powerheads as they look small enough yet produce awesome flow and consume only a small amount of power but which should i get? I am thinking of getting two of them but should i get the Turbo 2 models that produce 600gph or is that too much for a 29g and i should stick with the Turbo 1 models that produce 400gph?

two koralia 2 woud be good way better than the maxi jets
koralia will not be quite as strong as the maxijet but will be a more gentle flow as its not a pressure pump like the maxi
i think you will be happy with the koralia

Any more votes for the Koralia Turbo 2???

a koralia 3 and a 2 would work too get a lil more in there heck two 3s would work

i have really been studying these pumps and the koralias are anice pump but id go with one size bigger than you initially think

that sounds like good advice GSMguy...i just want to make sure i don't get too powerful a pump where my tank will be a sandstorm and my corals will feel like they're in and underwater hurricane .

if you are at all worried get the 2 the 2 will not be too much i ran two nanostream 6025 on my 29
and if you only keep lps and softies go with a 1 and a 2
