    I own a 29g Biocube and I've always hated my current water flow. Two old crappy PH's and the stock pump.

    I went ahead and ordered a Hydor Koralia Evolution 1050gph Powerhead and a Hydor Seltz 320gph return pump. I feel like with this I can take out my two powerheads, and replace with one big one, and have better water flow through my tanks filtration.

    my question is this hopefully will be better, less watts in the tank less noise. with this stuff i should get around 54x gph water flow versus my current 33gph. Just hope that 1050 isn't going to be over kill for my tiny tank, its rated for tanks 40-50g but I'm hoping it will do well in my tank

    Its overdone if you can't keep your substrate from floating all over the tank. Other than that, should be good.
