What should i use?

[Juggernot55]

I am setting up an upgrade from my original 26gal tank. Its a 50 gal and im wondering what should i use for water movement? Is a wavemaker necessary or can i just use powerheads? If so what makes and models are recommended for that size tank. I currentyl have a black ocellarus , true percula, scooter blenny, 2 firefish, a baby yellow tang, a feather duster and some duncans. All of these are going and i plan on getting a hammer and a few other corals. Thanks in advance for your comments.

If you can afford a couple hundred go for the Vortex pumps.

If you're like me, you can use Koralias. I have 4 #4 in my 155.

Korilias it is, lol so what do u reccomend for my 50 gal and do i have to buy something like the hydor korilia smart wave?

Ok i bought 2 koralia evolution 1050's with the koralia hydor smartwave hope this is good enough.

If you bought the 4 channel module you can always upgrade to more pumps later, if not you can always upgrade the heads for more flow.

lol... try one of those first before you use 2. make sure it's enough flow.
I have a 40g and I think the 750 was too much for my tank when I used it.

Also if there to strong would turning down the time interval there on help ? Sorry learning still fellas

 

[rkaragozler]

no i'm not talking about a 4 channel, i said if you bought a 4 cannel, you can add more power heads, if not you can put more powerful heads.(on a 2 channel)
