10 gallon tank Powerhead Question

singold · 07/28/2008, 03:33 PM

Would a Koralia 1 or Koralia Nano powerhead be better for a 10 gallon soft coral only tank? Thanks

either would work

Yes, but which one would be most recommended?
Thank you for any advise from anyone who has used on a 10 gallon.
I'm going to be ordering one of them tomorrow. I didn't know if the Koralia Nano is best for smaller than 10 gallon or is suited for a 10 gallon also. Thanks in advance for advise. The 10 gal. I am using will be primarily for small soft corals & maybe some of the hardier small hard corals. No fish. ---Sean

I actually have both those running in my tank right now, I think nano alone too little. try with k1 first, then if you think you need more add the nano.

With a mixed reef I would go with 2 of the Nanos. Im running 1s and nanos on different tanks. I have 2 of the nanos in my 20 long refugium(have 2 juv onyx clowns down there) and they give good flow. Im my 34max at work I have 2 1s on each side with a nano centered in the back. If you were doing all sps I would say go with the 1 but the nanos will work with what you are trying to accomplish.

def 2 k nano's for a 10 gal, you can go to the k 1's if you need more flow

I have K-Nano and an AC110 refuge on my tank. The Nano alone wouldn't be enough IMO.

yeah the nano by it self is not enought, try the k1 first.
