The Saltwater Kid Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am thinking of stacking my live rock in sort of a mountain formation in my tank with nothing touching any of the sides and I was thinking of putting a Koralia model 1 pump on either side with one pump pointed towards the front of the tank and one pointed towards the rear of the tank so that I would get a circular flow pattern all the way around my rockwork so that most detritus wouldn't get a chance to settle in any one spot and create trouble. Do you think two Model 1 pumps will be too much flow? Link to comment
r20crazy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 should be fine. there are a few people who have 2 k1's in their tanks with no problems Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 should be fine. there are a few people who have 2 k1's in their tanks with no problems I run the 2 without a problem. The only concern would be size - yes size does matter - the Koralia's are kind of large and I don't know if you are going to want two of them in there. You could just get one for the right side and upgrade your regular pump to something a little stronger. That way you don't have those two things taking up too much realestate in your tank.

The Saltwater Kid Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I also have two MJ900's that I could use but they're almost as big as the Koralias and half as powerful. Link to comment
jklnbrg Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am running 3 Koralia 1's on my BioCube 29 with a Red Sea wavemaker. No problems at all (of course I'm running bare bottom.
