    I have a 30 gal fowlr, with a few cleaners and 4 fish. Right now I have a koralia2 pumping out about 600 gph and a nano doing about 240 gph. Would taking out the nano and introducing another deuce be a better combo? I'm not sure it its too much I know now that I want a healthy flow to keep any detritus from finding a nook. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanx!

    moving your water around at 28x per hour is more than enough for a FOWLR. just orient your powerheads in a way that you have a kind of whirlpool effect.
