    I have a 24 gallon Nano. I want to add better water flow. I am going to be getting some corals soon and want to make sure there is enough current in the tank. Could someone please recommend me a set up that would work in the tank. Thanks.

    I have a koralia 1 in my 24 gallon aquapod. It is placed about 2-3 inches down in the center of the tank, pointed straight ahead. It gives pretty good circulation all around.

    I recommend at least 50x turnover rate. So for your 24g, you could put in three Koralia-1s or two Koralia-2s. It already has 300GPH on board so with the addition of the above, you are looking at 63x.
