I would get 2 X #3 hydors or put out another $20 and get 2 X #4 hydors. I have a #3, a #4's and a quiet one 6000 for return on my 120 and water movement is great. good luck

I'd go with the Korilias myself. I'd probably go get myself a six pack of Fat Tire (to help me think it through), then figure out how to spend $93 though.

I'd go with the two K3's. Either way, you'll end up spending more than you planned. Might as well be in the mindset to not worry about it!

I prefer Koralia, unless you have a lionfish in the tank.

How about the koalria 3s and the wave master to run a couple maxi jets I already have. would that produce random flow....I can break the bank some.
