Im keeping mostly sps and using 2 modded maxi jets, 1 korallia 4, and a mag 9 for return. im thinking about switching to all koralia 4s. so i will have three 4's and a mag 9 in a 90 gallon. does this sound like it is enough. I believe it would be a little over 45x turn over...

If you dont have lps polyps to worry about, crank it up!

My mixed reef 55 gallon has 2900 gph. Took awhile to aim things right to not bother the LPS, though.

I was saying that if you were going only SPS you could crank it up pretty high. Some with only sps have 100x with wavemakers.

I have two #3s, and 700 gph from my return, and its a pretty good amount of flow in my 90.

I have a VorTec (set on pulse) SEIO 820 on a wave timer, a K#4 & a mag 9.5 return on my 75.

So to answer your ? no thats not too much.

Have you tried modding the Koralia 4? That'll give you a little extra flow as well. I had a couple of K4s with an Oceansmotion for my old 92 gal and that worked out pretty well.

I've got a Koralia 4, 2 Koralia nanos, and a Mag 5 for my return on my 25 g. It's quite a bit of flow, maybe too much; it took me a while to position the 2 clams, plate, and feather/coco worms so that they weren't being whipped around too much. I think you would probably be OK with the 3 K4's and your return. Hope that helps. :)

I have 3 korallia 4's in my 90 and they do a great job. I will be up adding one more because a few of my acros are just getting to big and cutting off some of the flow to other corals. One being my 17" in dia. slimmer. Keep in mind you can run 4 korallia 4's on one seio controllor due to the lower total amount of watts the korallia 4's use vs the seio's.

I have 4 korallia 4's and a mag 9 for a return. Two of the korallia's have the stream adjusters on and two don't. All seams happy with all the flow. 3 would work, you would just have to do some adjusting to get the flow just right. It will be fine go for it.
