WOW this thing rocks

i bought a new koralia powerhead thats rated for 1050 gph for my 55 and this thing moves water holy crap!!!!! my only problem the only good spot i can find for it blows water up to the surface accross my 55 long and the return current is so strong i think it has up rooted a few of my yellow polyps. Will the polyps get used to it or what other solutions are there

 

They may. Have you tried bottom right or left aimed more upward or back wall right or left aimed toward the front glass center?

 

I have a 55 long and aim my koralia at back left or a large rock

 

ya the koralia is at the 1/4 of the way up the tank aimed up at the surface its not the direct current thats hurting the polyps its the back current from the koralia pulling water back in.

 

there is a thing called "too much flow" as well.

 

so u think i should take it out?

 

i probubly have around 2500 gph of flow in my 55 is that to much?

 

ehhhh...thats like 50X flow. thats more than the 40X suggested for SPS. might be a little brutal for some of you softies

 

ok thanks i may just try putting the big on at one end by themselves and the two small ones at the other nd
