I have a 75 gallon FOWLR( 125 lbs.). What type of flow should I have inside the DT? I was thinking a Koralia 3 and a Koralia 1. Is that good? I want to add some more softies eventually, but right now I am focusing on getting the coraline going. Everyone says I need good water movement. Let me know, open to opinions please.

Failed to mention right now I have 2 Maxi Jet 1200's. Not all that great though.

Are they standard MJs? You can do the Sure Flow mods to them to change the type, and drastically increase the flow. I'm sorry I don't know much about the koralia's, but just by glancing at their stats I think they'd be weaker than the modded MJs. Especially with the 1200s you can use the larger propeller that comes with the Sure Flow kit for up to 2000gph.

Actually, I just think the Koralia's are more appealing to the eye. Anyone else know how they stand up as far as performance?

The Tunze nano streams are very nice
