    I am getting a 210 gallon tank in the next week or so. I already have one mag 7 on my 55 gallon. If I get 1 more mag 7 will it be enough water movement or flow for a 210g? I will have 3 powerheads in the tank as well for extra flow.

    What powerheads? Powerheads are much more bang for you buck when it comes to water movement.

    Two Koralias will not be nearly enough for a 210. you need to add a couple of big ones or some mp-40/60's or the like. That is a ton more water to move and you will need to upgrade powerheads big time. A return pump will not do it
