New Powerheads

Alright, so I'm gonna buy some new powerheads today for a better flow in my 120 Gal. I have 2 return tubes running from my sump into the tank making a fairly reasonable current along the sand bed of the tank. My idea was to either get 2 new Koralia 1, or I was thinking of getting a koralia one to push water along the back side of my tank, then a Koralia 2 to push water forward and around the front wall of my rocks. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts about this?

I have a Korola #1 on each side of the back low blowing to the front of the tank, and a #2 up high on the sides of the tank towards the fron blow at a down angle side to side on a wave maker and seems to be fine. I found #3's were too strong for my LPS's.

As long as you'll get the flow you're looking for, they're pretty good choices.

Koralias are great. I have some 4s on my 125. I think two of the #2s or two of the #3s would be enough for your tank. If you are keeping SPS go with the #4s.
