    So I was planning on going with a hydor korlia 425 for my 25g reef, but was wondering if a 750 would be too much flow? what do you think?

    I think the 750 would be too much, but 2 425 would work well. Place them on opposite sides and aim them parallel to each other for best turbulent flow.

    I have a koralia 4 and a MJ-1200 with the smaller propeller of the shure flow mod and I had to take it down today... the pulsing xenias were too busy holding on to the rock that didn't even have time to pulsate!

    Go with 2 smaller pumps rather than a bigger one.
