I would recommend either the K2 or K3. Anything else might be too big.

You could do a K4, as long as it's pointed at a rock or something.

I wouldn't go anything larger.

I would recommend K3, but don't use it with a off/on wavemaker. It doesn't work good

Why you say that? I have 6 korallias, all controlled by my AC3. Yea they chatter a little sometimes, but otherwise have worked superbly for over 2 years now. When I broke the egg crate on one (my fault) and lost the dry side magnet, korallia sent them free and didn't even charge shipping.

I can't speak highly enough of Korallia. IMO they are rugged and get the job done at a great price.

I love my 4 koralias (2x K4, 1 K2, 1 k3)

i WOULD DEFINATELY GET THE K 3 or K4....The K 2 doesnt put out alot of flow...... My 2k4s are on oppisite ends of my 150...the create very nice flow.....also if you adjust them just right and dont use the optional flow nozzle that comes with it you can put direct flow in 2 different directions.....there are 4 openings on the Koralias....water usually only is forced out of 2 or 3 of those holes.....in kind of a V pattern....

The K2 and K3 are the same size, so I would never pick the K2 in your situation. Also the K5, K6, K7, and K8 are all the same size.
