what flow for my 125?

[louie07]

I am going to soon be setting up my 125!!!!!! i got my lighting done and was going to order the rest of my equipment. I currentle have 2 korelia 2's in my 40, and was thinking of haveing the following combinations in the 125.

1. two korelia 2's and two korelia 4's

2. two korelia 2's and two korelia 3's

3. two korelia 2's, one korelia 3 and one korelia 4

4. one korelia 2 and two korelia 4's

any suggestions? my tank is 72x18x22, and will be drilled, idk on the return pump i will probably change it, so just off of powerheads.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

The 2's aren't going to do you much good in that size tank, but you can use em for dead spots. Try 4 #3.

ok.... is that what you have in your tank? whats the GPH in your tank?

I run 2 4's in my 125 and get pretty good flow but I have a very open aquascaping.

Are you on a budget? VorTech all the way!

well.... kinda... i want to buy a new computer also.... i have this much left to buy:

Lights: $180.00
Heater(so i have 2): 43.00
Powerheads(try to get some used... new K 4's price) 100.00
then we need to buy 120lbs of sand..... got enough rock to start.... about 100 lbs of rock.

so yes, i want to stay on a budget

Yes, I have 4 #3's in my 125g tank. It with the 4 it gives you more room to get the dead spots. So thats what 3400gph. Oh, and I have a 350Magnum, but I don't count that as flow.
