    If you remove the front restrictor on the Koralia's it slows the flow and dispurses the radius wider....but there is the chance a fish could swim into it i suppose....I took mine off my #3 to try and limit some flow as I have a FS that is not opening ...I actually liked it better this way ...gives good flow...just not as Direct.

    So far no fish have bothered it

    Good Luck

    I just bought 2 Koralia 4's that were on sale for $48 each at my lfs www.exoticaquatic.com. He told me to not use the plastic cover. I now prefer it without the cover. I put the 2 Koralia 4's above my 2 Koralia 2's on the back wall on each end. Real nice flow. Here's a pic.

    Nice tank marlinman, I love your rock set-up. Mine is totally different from yours but theres only so much i can do with a thin tank. What are the dimensions of your tank?
