The koralia isnt designed to blast out water like a jet stream it is designed to generate a lot of flow over a broad area. Im happy with mine. _________  | |

That design, being exemplified in the Koralin and Tunze stream powerheads, is without a doubt how powerheads should work! The ordinary powerheads offer a stream of water many times too powerful to be aimed straight across your water column without banking it off your glass as I have mentioned. Or you run the risk of knocking coral over, damaging tissue or decreasing the ability of certain corals to open their polyps fully.
The invention of the Tunze stream, Hydor Koralin, and I believe Seio also has implemented this style, has allowud us to showcase more waterflow(gph) albeit, to a greater portion of our tank thus decreasing the nomber of powerheads we need and limiting dead space within our tanks! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

I think you are right, which is why is why I initially went with the zoo-med with oscilating nozzle which is an eyesore compared to the hydor. think another hydor 1 or even 2 would be overkill in a 29gal? | |

Nope it shouldn't! What are you planning on keeping in the 29 as far as corals? | |

I have a 2 on my 30 gallon hex and it provides enough flow. I got the two because I thought it was smaller than a 3, I wish I would have gotten the three now. Overall, great pump!
