The case size for the #2 and #3 are the same so the footprint is identical. For a 72 gal. I'd go with two #3's because the output is very difuse and you have a long tank to cover, one on each end...

My warranty sheet states 24 months from purchase. Seems awful generous and from all I've read on the forums Hydor makes good on all their legitimate (read reasonable) claims.

OK, I put the two #1's in and the flow is so wide it moves the polyps on my SPS, but I think the #2's might be the way to go even in a 30 gal. cube. They are quiet and cool, I have one in each corner...

I keep my ballast for a 250 watt SE in the stand and run the plug up to the fixture. It doesn't really get that hot, I use a Galaxy e-ballast from Sunlight Supply.

An MJ1200 is 295 GPH, the Koralia #1 is 400 GPH, I think one or two #1's would make a sandstorm, much less #2 or #3. I just ordered two #1's for my 30 cube, I'll let you know how it works when I get...

They are expensive, but for one bulb a year, mine are $115 for the 250 watt, it is worth it. I haven't seen a 20K Aquaconnect, but as hahnmeister points out the 14K is a misnomer and just marketing...

I know this is dumb but is there a washer on the plastic piece that connects to the faucet? Next, test the tube that fits in the fitting, is it all the way in the connector?
