I was wondering if I have enough flow in my 60 cube (24x24x24). I currently have 1 K3 and 1K2 for flow. I really dont get much flow from my return as its only a quiet one 4000 split into two returns. Thinking about getting a Mag12 and using a SCWD to make a more flow. I would love to get a MP20 but really cant dish out the cash for that at the moment. Any suggestions?
Thanks

IMO, I wouldn't try to increase your flow by using a bigger return pump. Without knowing the specifics, I would say that the quiet one 4000 is plenty of pump for your tank.
I would look to upgrade those koralias instead. You could pick up a couple of the new koralia evolutions. The middle ones ( 3's? ) push around 1000 gph (according to MarineDepot), you can run them on a wave timer, and they won't break the bank.
