Neither of the links worked.

Like I said; if you can wait until mid-July, I should have my two K4s and controller up for sale. They've served me well.

Koralias are nice and not expensive.

 

[Jimbojames]

If you're planning on getting into SPS corals the more flow the better. I think the guideline for gph is roughly 50x your tank size.

I'd heard 40X/Hour

Buy from drsfostersmith dot com best price I've found plus free shipping over $49 and shipping is usually a day maybe two.

Do 2 2200 gph and face them at each other from each end. When one goes on the other goes off.

My friend just put a WP40 in her 65 and she loves it. I hate the koralias. They are always starting in reverse and the impellers always swell and fail.

I've had Koralias, Tunze Nano Props, and Vortecs.

I'd say have at least one DC controllable pump with about half your planned turnover. The Tunzes with controllers or Vortecs.

Koralias are OK for 3-6 months but they will fall apart if you run them on controllers. I''ve had the nanos and the big ones, they have all failed in less than a year. During the time they do work your fish will be spooked by the periodic start chatter caused by the Koralias.

Just my opinions.
