Tunze Nanostream 6025 too strong for my 24G?

[Matt165]

I have a 24G Nano Cube, just bought a Tunze Nanostream 6025 (2500L/hour) and i'm wondering if this is not too much flow for my 24G tank??

What you guys think?

you should aim for a flow rate of between 20 and 40 times your tank vol in gph
that would be roughly 500-1000 gph
since the nanostream is around 650 gph you are in that range--so you are good

thanks. The force of the flow seems a bit high (not as dispersed as i'd like)

is it ok to aim it directly at some LR to try break up the flow a bit?

then you are better to get a Korilia--same power, half the cost but it is turbulant flow, not a straight stream laminar like with the tunze
Also it radiates out from the centre of the nose cone of the pump so there is excellent coverage where the flow is not as strong or direct.

Koralia Nano or Koralia 1?

Thanks for the advice capn_hylinur
