    Ok so I am about to place an order at Petstore.com for
    Hydor Koralia Evolution Circulation Pump/Powerhead 750gph
    &
    Hydor Koralia Evolution Circulation Pump/Powerhead 1050gph
    =
    $84 with shipping.

    Is that a good combination for a 65g reef ? Also would those powerheads + 1 work in a 125g when and if I upgrade ?

    Price wise its a good deal, I did my fare share of looking around on ebay, amazon, google and bing.

    I think that would probably work quite well. I have the old style korallias in my 200g, and I had them in my 90g as well. The nice thing is that you can add more pumps if you need more flow or upgrade.

    If this helps, I wish I would have gone with the evolution instead of the generation 1 Koralia that I purchased... would have been a lot better in my tank.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know :D

    I would definately recommend the Evolution Monte. It uses less power (who doesn't like to save money for corals/fish) and it just looks nicer :D

    Just purchased ;)
    I am going to keep my Aquaclear70 and use it to mix salt. Is 400gph too much for a 5gal bucket or its perfect and would only take like 1 hr to mix ?
