    Hey y'all. I'm running a Koralia 2 and 3 in my tank currently. It's a 46 gallon bow front. Just curious if this seemed like a lot of flow or not. I'm kind of having a hard time finding low flow areas in the tank. They are positioned on opposite sides on the back of the tank blowing towards the front glass. Any suggestions on placement or should I perhaps downgrade the 3 to a 2? I'd like to have a variety of softies as well as LPS in the tank.

    Sorry, I know this is a really general question and I'm sure there are a ton of factors I'm not taking into consideration.

    As long as there are really no dead spots and your substrate isnt being blown into suspension I think you would be ok.

    I agree with Jgut3, and would add your corals are happy also

    So you don't really know until you get your corals in there. If they seem mad and your water parameters are all within bounds then try a different spot?
