    We recently purchased 2 1300GPH powerheads and we already had 1 koralia 2. The 2 1300 really push some water:eek: and my feather duster looks like it's going to blow away. Could this possibly be to much for my 75g

    I personally love higher flow, in my opinion things may move around - but will settle in to the new storm you created and do well.

    I was in the same boat as you, just move the duster a lil lower and it should be ok have it that you have good lighting to get to it. I was about to take one of mine out cuz my fish hid out in the corners now they think my tank is x-games and dare each other to touch the PH with there lips and fly around the tank. Give it time

    I have a lot of flow in my 75 Gallon too... and I have 2 saddleback clowns that swim into the current a lot... they also love it. I have some coral that doesn't like flow and I just place them in areas where the live rock protects them against direct current....
