Yea I meant buy sorry!!lol

 

do you use these now? are they good quality? as you can tell from the ones I am using I dont have the best stuff. I just need to know they are going to last awhile.

 

I dont but I have heard them talked about on here a few times! I think we need some vets to chime in here. Hey old timers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know there are the Korilia (prob messed up the spelling) kind but they are much more expensive but do push a lot more water.

 

I have looked on ebay and found some that move 1300gph, but they seem to be a no-name copy of the koralia. I love the gph on these but again I dont want to waste my money on junk

 

If your tank is the typical 75g like mine (48x18x20) you will want to put more flow into it than what you have now.
My set up has 2 Korilia 4's. I also have a 30g tank as my sump and use an Aqua C EV 180 skimmer, the skimmer is matted to a Mag drive 7 pump and my return pump is a Quit One 300. All being said I would say I have around 2700 gph flow and could use more.
As for the lighting I am running a JBJ 96x4watt Power Compact retrofit kit in my canopy and it has enough light to support Zoes, Frogspawn, Sun corals and Elegance coral and many mushrooms. I do plan to upgrade to a T5 retrofit kit in the future but cant seem to find one that will fit in my canopy yet without having to do any sort of modifications.

Good luck with your set up, go slow and do a lot of reading and ask lots of questions.

 

the last 75 gallon tank that I set up, I used a koralia 3 and a koralia 2 for flow plus the return pump. Very good, mixed up flow from them. I would also look at using t-5's and removing the power compacts that you currently have. I don't like the maxi jets because of the tight stream of water they emit rather than a big fan of water.

 

I want to get t5's but I cant afford them right now. I do plan on getting better power heads within the next couple weeks. was going to do koralia's or at least a look alike to them from ebay.
