    Hey guys,
    My stepfather is taking down his 55 gallon tank, and he gave me some rock and his Hydor Koralia 1400. Now, I have a 29 gallon tank. Is this too much flow?

    Hydor Koralia 1400
    Hydor Koralia 550
    Hydor Koralia Nano 425
    = 2375 GPH

    I have it plugged in and I have to say it moves the water pretty good, just wondering if it's too much.

    Thank you.

    If it isn't blowing around sand and bothering fish or corals then i would say its okay. Its quite a bit of flow coming out of one power head in a 29 but should be okay.

    +1 to above

    Id probably take the nano out if youd like more flow, that would free up some space

    I have it placed towards the top on the right side. But, I'm just concerned about my LPS, because they probably don't like it too much. I could take the nano out and run 1950 GPH, which might be more manageable.
