Hi everyone!!
Im starting my first reef mixed coral aquarium and Im getting things done step by step.
I already have my lights ordered, I got my tank: 30” long 13” wide and 20” tall (I believe its 33.77 us gallons as the calculator says).
And now I need the wave pump!
For this Im gonna go good and cheap since I spent way too much out of my budget on lights. (Regrets nothing).
Looking around watching and reading reviews I Came up with Hydor Koralia, but I dont know which model to choose.
Hydor koralia Nano 565 GPH (20-40gal)
Or
Hydor koralia 3rd gen 1350 GPH (40-75gal)

Which of them should I go for?
Would nano 565 be enough?
Is 3rd gen 1350 too much?

Thanks a lot !!

What are your plans for corals, fish, etc.? Some types prefer different amounts of flow. Koralia is a good brand and who I went with as well for my 20 gal. The 1350 would be overkill for your tank I believe
 
I would go with the bigger one. Their flow rates should be cut in half as they are never as strong as other wavemakers of similar gph.
