    Yes too big.IMO I have a 90 with two Koralia evo 750s and they were a pain to position so as to not cause desert storm.

    Just great ! For once I am blessed with "bigger than the norm" and I get blown off !
    Is there anyway to turn them down ? I have 2 other tanks, a 350 goldfish tank and a 55 tropical in my office, I am waiting to position a 1200 gallon that will be a marine predator tank, once some work is completed in the building, somi suppose I could use them in ne of them? And buy some new smaller units ?

    If they are controllable pumps you could use a wavemaker to turn them down but I would just use them in one of your bigger tanks and get a couple of evos for the 90.
