how many powerheads?

on my 55 gallon tank, how many powerheads and what gph powerheads would you use to keep a decent current flowing? it will be a fowlr aquarium if that makes a difference

 

I have one Koralia1 and one Koralia2 in my 55 at the moment, and I need to add one moreK1, just to give you an Idea.

 

Hi dusty

I have a 4ft FOWLR
I have 4 different sources of water movement in mine
2 x K clones - rated at 3000 LPH (750 US gallons)
2 x Fluval cannisters 1200 LPH or 400 US gallons used for carbon , Phosgaurd and the other has Purigen in (no sump)


thus I have 2300 gallons of turnover in a 60 gallon tank thus even alllowing for restriction from the cannisters caused by the media inside - I must have at least 30 x tank volume in water movement per hour

I would not want any individual power head with that much capacity though, so several smaller ones are better than 1 larger one IMO
