    OK well because of money I am going to be downgrading my current 75, selling the tank, and running my 30 gallon again. I will be using the money from the 75 sale to buy whats is needed for my 30. the question is this. I currently have a coralife PC that takes 2 96w bulbs...so 192 total watts...correct? that should be fine for my tank right? second question is about water flow... my 75 has a Koralia #3, and #4 ... is that going to be to mych flow in a 30?

    So all in all I will have a 30 gallon with 20lbs sand and have at least 80lbs or LR to use, with the two koralia's, HOB skimmer, coralife PC at 192watts and a 20 gallon sump....sound like it should run good?

    thanks in advance of more questions and advice.

    If I remember right the K3 is 900 gph and the 4 is 1200 gph. If thats correct that will be a lot of flow. I would say you could use the K3 30x turnover an hr or the K4 40x turn over an hr but maybe not both at the same time.
