I am setting up a mixed reef 90 gallon tank. Looking to use sump return flow as well as hydor koralias to create flow. Tank is 4 feet wide 2 feet deep. What sizes koralia would be recommended?

What are you planning to have in your tank ie. what kind of corals- and have you considered your placement and your aquascape?

There's not a one size fits all approach to flow from powerheads, it all depends on your tank and what you put in it! :) Also, prepare to change your flow many, many times as your coral grow and fill up your tank!

Probably going to want wave makers that do about 1,000-1,500 gph. But I’m a huge fan of DC wave makers because you really need to plug them into your tank and see how it goes.
