    Anyone think it'd be too much flow? i'm only keeping softies, but i've had a cyano outbreak and figured i'd nip it in the butt as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get a koralia nano, when i get paid again, but was hoping as a temporary fix to throw that 2 in there. Any suggestions??

    Sorry, I cannot comment on the flow only on the koraila in general...we found that both of ours required regular maintenance to keep them running on a wave maker and that the impeller guides are easily broken...

    So, keep some spare parts on hand...that do make a lot of flow...

    I have two of those in my 29 gall tank. They work very well for my tank. Koralias are not supposed to be used for wavemakers due to the fact that they break down so often. They make controllable ones to be used with wavemakers.

    I have a nano in my BC29 with the main return flow bumped up a bit. Leaves the overflow side a bit sluggish but I'm fine with that.
