    i just installed a Koralia 1 on the right side of the Biocube 14.... lots of flow and the soft corals seem to be enjoying it. The green flower pot seems a little angry as well as the Kenya Tree. Last night before i got the Koralia the green flower pot had extended its arms three or four inches before the lights kicked off, now they are kinda hesitant it seems to come out???? Any thoughts on the situation????? I was thinking mabey i should of gotten the Koralia Nano but the box said it was good for the size tank i had. So anyway, is the Koralia 1 to much rukus for softies in a Biocube 14.
    Right now im rockin yellow polyps, Xenia coral, green flower pot, green zoanthids, some other Sps frags, a Kenya Tree, clownfish, yellow watchman, two Emerald crabs, three blue leg hermits, two red leg hermits, six snails and its looking really good. I will post some pics and mabey a video soon.
    Thanks

    I would say give it a few days for everything to acclimate to the new flow. Should be just fine.

    The kenya will be fine. When you change flow they will fall over for a day or so until they get used to it. Give the flower pot some to time to get used to it and it might be ok. I dont know much about that coral.

    How is it working?

    A friend of mine had a biocube 14g and he had a korallia nano in it to begin with. it was not enough flow, so he put a K1 in the place of the K nano. That was perfect, now he has a biocube 29.

    it works great and its sweet cuz you can literally put it anywhere cuz of the magnet. I have the magnet in chamber one now so the power head is pointed straight at the front of the cube.
