How much flow should I have in my 75g for a rbta? I currently have (2) hydor koralia 4's w/fish protectors. Each is in the outer back edges of the tank pointing towards the front center portion on the tank. Is this too much flow?

I wouldn't think so. I've got 3 koralia 3's in my 75 gallon - two at one end pointing towards the koralia 3 at the other end - and the one on the other end just points straight - kinda in between the middle of the other 2.

My BTA seems to be doing fine.

I have three maxi modded 1200 and a eco modded 600 plus a mag 9.5 return pump and my rbta is always seems to be happy.

And I thought I'd have too much. :lol:

Do either of you have a pic of your tanks? I'd like to see how you have your powerheads oriented.

Did either of you do any mods to your koralias or modded maxijets to prevent the anemone from getting sucked in?

I have two Tunze on both sides of the tank. 6025 and 6045.
