I am resetting my 29g standard tank and going bare bottom. I would like to upgrade my powerhead. It is a puny 500gph from amazon (would like to move this to the chaeto chamber).
My return pump is a Rio+ 1700. I think I am only getting half the specified flow from this pump. Maybe 300gph.
That leaves me needing a powerhead to provide 1800gph for my SPS dominant build.
28g (filled water volume) * 75 times flow = 2100gph. The return pump provides 300gph.
Is 75 times too much flow in a 29g standard tank? Will my fish be blown away?
Is Hydor Koraile 3rd gen (1950gph) the right pump for me?
Or should I go for a pair of smaller powerheads?
