Quick Koralia opinions

[thbrewst]

175 bowfront, will ultimately try to turn into a reef. What would make more sense?

- 2 Koralia 6 (2200 gph each) - 4400 gph total
or
- 3 Koralia 4 (1400 gph each) - 4200 gph total

other ideas?

I chose 3 k4s on my 120 4x2x2 mounted all 3 on the back wall.

I used 4 K 4's on my 210 (84 x 24 x 24)

I would say 3 - 1400s to spread it out. I'm looking at 2 initially and then going to three all on the back wall....

FWIW - just noticed one of my K4's is throwing voltage :sad: - luckily its in my water mixing bucket and not my tank..lol :unsure:

I guess everything we put in out tanks (with power cords in the water)are subject to voltage though...

i run 4 k4's on my 150...

I was going with these numbers for the '20 times the number of gallons per hour' suggestion that I had read. Is that not enough? Should I be looking for more like 4 K4s?

Personally, I'd go with more 4s instead of 6s. This is purely because if one dies (and eventually everything does) it will be cheaper to replace... plus I've never seen a 6 in stock, while pretty much any Koralia dealer will have 4s (actually, the new Evolution 1400 equivalent).

Aren't they like 99 each? Why not get a vortech

 

[thbrewst]

the 4s are ~$50 each, 1 MP40 is ~$450. Would live to go Vortech, but that is not even the same realm.
