dudedudedude Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 As the title states, which one would you go for. I was thinking the 3K on a lower speed might be quieter with more uniform flow. Quote Link to comment
thebunb Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1k would be plenty enough and smaller footprint. I use the 1k(only 1 side) on an IM 25g and it's really strong, even on the lowest setting Quote Link to comment
Ranjib Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1k. Even with 1K you might want to use the only half of it. Quote Link to comment
1967type1 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1k definitely. I have one on my 40 Breeder and it moves water like crazy. Quote Link to comment
Nocturnal Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1k, if anything because of the footprint. On my biocube 29 I have the 1k ramping up (and reversing) from 30% to 100%, the return, a koralia 250, and a jebao Sw-2. I found the back top glass to be the best spot for my tank.

dudedudedude Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 All, thanks for the advise, will go with the 1k. Would you guys recommend vertical or horizontal placement? Quote Link to comment

I think it depends on your scape and other pumps. I started mine horizontal on the side but didn't like it. Now it's middle back top. IMO, vertical placement doesn't seem like it would do as good of a job at actually moving water around the tank. Bottom water and top water won't mix as much. Quote Link to comment
BohannonReef Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I have the 1k on my im20 at only 10%. It will be perfect for your needs. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
whisnantrider Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I had a maxpect xf230 which was to much for my 45. I just got the 1K yesterday and the amount of flow it puts out is stupid. It's more than enough to over power your biocube if you wanted. It's also quiter than my 230 was. I don't here this 1K at all. Quote Link to comment
E90reef Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just bought1k for for my BC32 running 40 % just the right amount of flow without a sand storm Quote Link to comment
