    I need some advise, should I put one Hydor koralia 550, or a 750 or should I put two 425. I am planning on adding 2 more fish within a 1 months period. I currently have only one koralia 425 and I dont think its cutting the job on my 37 gal.

    I'd add the 750 in with the 425 that way you'll be good to go for whatever. you'll want the more flow when you add more rock.

    I have a 750 and 425 together in my 40 gallon and I like it. BUT since your tank isn't as long as a 40 breeder I would do the 425 and the 550, your filters/return etc will add a some extra GPH as well.

    That's typically specific to each tank, once you get the power heads in your tank play around with whats best for your inhabits.

    true, try one in the rear middle of the tank facing the front top middle of the tank andone in a rear corner facing the direct front middle of the tank.

    IMO, I would go with a 750. If you are thinking about a 550, then just get another 425 since the unit is about half the size of the 550 and does not flow that much less.

    oposite sides of teh tank, pointing eachother, slightly to the top for good surface aggitation.
