Hydor Koralia or Tunze for my 19G?

Hello, I have a 19G that measures 30" x 12" x 12", currently using an Aquaclear 110 filter that doubles as a refugium.



As for corals, I have some zoanthids, green star polyps, mushrooms and forgspawn. I have a Rose BTA as well.

Which pump should I get for my tank - Hydor Koralia 1 or Tunze 6025 Turbelle nanostream?

 

Great looking set up Logic pending - corals look really well
has the Damsel been bullying?

either of those wave maker choices are good IMO

Hydor 1 or 2 will do the trick.... maybe two 1's on the koralia side.

I cant suggest tunze since I have absolutely no experience with em and their capabilities.

But im sure the koralias will win since their prices are right

 

I have a Koralia and I love it. It was cheap and works very well. The only thing is there is no option to turn the flow down or up. The flow is just what it is. Some more expensive power heads have options to turn up or down the flow. I don't know about the Tunze.

Your tank is awesome!! The corals are gorgeous.

 

Thanks! ;D
No, on the contrary, poor guy's been bullied - by the dottyback. : Just had the big bully traded at the LFS for a Tomato Clownfish yesterday.

2 powerheads? Does my tank need that many?

Would it be too strong for my tank then? There's one more, it's called the Hydor KoraliaNano 900 l/h, would that be more suitable?

Thanks!
But actually, my Green Star Polyps are bleached and a cluster of zoanthids are bleached and melting

 

You can't beat the korallias for price.

Especially from a place like petmountain. I got K4's for like 38 dollars each from them.

 

bleaching gsp? what kind of light ar u running, if gsp is bleaching time to upgrade.

i like ur tank tho, i have koralia it is good

 

Upgrade? I doubt so My lights are 4x24 w T5 HO; bulbs - 2 x ati aquablue, 1x ati blue plus, 1 x giesemann pure actinic.

Thanks

 

The reason for bleaching is most probably lighting too intense ( very near the GSP ) and the high temperature ( above 85 F )

 

I would go with the Koralia. I have the size 1 in my 29 gal and I love it. I will probably add one more later on just to create some turbulence. I have had no problems with it.
