Koralia placement

Just picked up a couple of Koralia 4's and was wondering if I got em in the right spot...


upper left




Upper right same location as upper left.

Both focused to the center of the tank towards the front glass...

A couple of the residents saying hello...

Re: Koralia placement

You think if I added (2) #2's that would be overkill? Coming off the overflow or back wall pointed towards the left and right sides?

Re: Koralia placement

In a 125? Four powerheads? Overkill? Hells no!

I have six in my 240.

Re: Koralia placement

there's never an overkill when it comes to flow. I have 1 koralia 4 and 2 moded tunze nanostreams 6025 and 2 stock 6025 on my 120 and i still want more. and oh on top of that i have a 1000 gph coming out from the head of my 2 returns on a scwd.

Re: Koralia placement

definately not overkill. water flow is one of the most important parts of your reef.... at times more important than lighting

Re: Koralia placement

Mik,it looks like it will work were it is now.Two more wouldn't be overkill.

I have 4 and feel I could use a little more flow.I believe someone showed a thread for the new Sieo Polario earlier.They got another new one called the Sieo Prop.I'm thinking of getting one to try out and Sieo controller.They work with the Koralias too.
