It depend how powerfull your return pump is if your going to run it with out a return pump it would be fine if not I would go with koralia1 there is little diffrence in price.

I have 4 microjets attached to a wavemaker at the top, and a Koralia 1 down in the bottom left corner. That along with the return pump gives a lot of flow. So far so good on the Solana I'm keeping. SPS frags seem to dig it.

dedpends on what you plan on keeping alive and happy in your tank...sps i would say about 8 of them since the flow is useless out of a nano...

in my 20 i have a koralia 2 and a koralia1 and really wish i had two 2's...or even threes...

IMHO k nanos are useless in anything over 5 gallons...

The 1's aren't that much bigger than the NAno's, and you get a lot more flow. I'd go 2-3 1's depending on what you are going to keep in there.

get a single tunze 6045 or even better a 6055 then, or even better would be a vortec MP40 (very little space taken up...)

You need more than a few nano's. I have three koralia #1's in my 20 gallon SPS tank.
