Koralia 3 in AP 24

Is a Koralia 3 in an AP 24 too much? Should I just stick with #2?

I would think a 3 would create a sandstorm, I would go with 1 or 2.

Go with the three...I tried two of the 2's and was still dissatisfied, and I broke down and bought 2 tunze nanostreams.

does the tunze work well or create too much flow?

i would go with the 2 or a tunze6045 just for the size of it i would not get a K3...my K2 is even a little big for my 20 gallon..29 gallon will obviously need more flow...but at the size of the K3 i think the 6045 would be better..

I use the 3 but my tank is a bit bigger. It works great for me and keeps the tank moving. The only problem i have is coral placement so there is not too much flow. I am also running along with the 3 a maxijet 1200, 600, and 400.

it depends on what your keeping
i have 1 Koriala #2 in my tank, and don't use it, simply because it overwhelms all my euphillia,

My Maxi Jet 900 Return provides all the flow for my tank, and keeps my Fiji Yellow Leather happy,


its coral placement, and type that determine flow
if keeping SPS, then im sure i would be satisified with Koriala 2, or better yet 3, but for my LPS and Softies i wuld stick with 1

i have 2 koralia 3's in my 75 and i find it to be too much. i even had to trim down the props a little bit. U guys are nuts... i hope you guys are growing SPS. The two 3's in my 75 kept my euphylias from opening. as soon as i trimmed them down my tank has never looked better
