I have a 20 long with two korlia nano 425's on a smart wave controller. Do you guys think replacing one of them with a korlia 650 would be ok? Was just wanting a lil more flow.
Power head question
- Thread starter Reefplumber13
- Start date
There are set so only one is on at a time
Still, one on is 20+ times turnover. Should be more than enough. What is it you are trying to achieve? I'm just curious. People often struggle with insufficient flow, but in my opinion, you could run the whole tank on one powerhead (425 gph) and have ample flow.

I have a few dead spots. I just have it laying around and was wanting to use it. Guess I just need to move the two I have around
I don't feel that it's enough flow to get across the tank. It's 30" long.
I'm not arguing with you 
Brian ran a 20L for years, I'm pretty sure he 'only' had a single 240 on it, and a HOB filter.
Try the larger powerhead, let us know what you think. Your original question was would it be OK? Sure. I wouldn't say run out and buy one, but you indicated you have it, so give it a go.
Worst that can happen is that you feel it's more than you need, and you can undo it.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lol I also have 2 of the 240's laying around. Maybe I'll get a splitter and run them with the two I have now. Like you said the only thing that could happen is a sand storm. Guess I'll try it next weekend when I get back homeJennM;994433 wrote: I'm not arguing with you
