how do you have them positioned?? i would think that would be fine... i have 2 modded maxijet 1200's in my sps tank and also my return pump from my sump total of about 4400gph

I currently have 4 Koralia 3's plus the return from the sump (about 300 gph). 2 K3's are in the back left and 2 back right. The upper 2 are angled slightly to the front glass. The bottom 2 are about 1/2 way down the tank and are angled steeply towards the front glass. I mostly have softies and this seems to work well for them.

I tried a K2 but could not feel the flow with my hand 6 inches away from the front.

2 K3s is perfect for your softies, just position them right.

I have tow K3's in my 75 gallon and they work great. positioning is the key
