Best Koralia for AP 24

ReeferRyan · #1 10/28/2007, 02:53 PM

I need to add more flow in my AP 24 and I was looking at Koralia's, but I am not sure which ones to get. I already have a MJ1200 in place of the return pump and a MJ900 mod in the other chamber. I was thinking about adding 2 Koralia Nano's, but would the K1's be a better choice? I like the smaller look of the nano, but I don't know if the flow is worth it

We put a Koralia Nano in my sons 24g AP and we have already ordered a 1 to replace it. It would be better suited in a 12g over the 24s. We also have the 1200 mod in the tank.
We started with the pump lower in the tank and it moved some water around and then moved it higher to stir the surface some. Its just not giving the flow we had hoped. Checked out some other Nano posts and found we would have been better off with the 1 to start with. No big deal on our end as we will place the Nano in our other 12g JBJ and wait for the 1 for the 24. Most places have the 1 on BO right now as I guess they were pretty popular.

We also got some of the Sureflow1600 kits for the MJ powerheads. We decided to put one on a MJ400 and see what would happen in the 24 and if possible to use it for some flow. Talk about a sandstorm

....We ended up taking it out after about 5 seconds.

I replaced the stock pump with a Maxi 900, and I use a Koriala 2 and like the amount of flow it puts out, 1 wasn't enough, I keep all LPS, Softies,

I have all SPS and I have 2 #1's on each side of the tank, perfect for me.....

Sounds like 2 #1's is the way I will go.

Thanks for the replies
