koriala 1050 ...too much flow?

[tinman]

just bought a koriala 1050 from a fellow reefer and well installed it in my biocube , its super quite, and comes with magnetic holders so im impressed ...

but the problem is its too much flow, is it ok to have too much flow in a reef tank ?? i am worried about the ricordeas and the wellso .. i know everything else can handle abit of a flow ...


so what should i do? i saw the koriala ones and always thought my maxijet is around1300 gph and its a nice flow and this is only 1050 gph so should be nice and obviously im wrong its too much flow .. now going back maxijet says 300gph as a power head


this is in a biocube 29 along with mazijet 1200 in the back

I think it depends on what u have in the tank. Sps dominated? Then just find some low flow spots for the lps and softies.

No it's a softie tank with some lps and sps

Go buy a different power head

The Maxijet 1200 with the powerhead impeller and guard is 1300gph. Maxijet 1200 with the pump impeller and volute is 300gph.

Go buy a different power head

Didn't understand you saying too much flow is ok ??

What about RIcs ?? Dont they like low flow ??

 

[Hyperlitexr50]

put them close to the rock work or find a low flow spot. I ran two biocubes for years with two k1s in both of them and kept every coral happy
