Re: what size power hesd for a 20g
I have a 16G bowfront with a Koralia K1 and a Koralia Evolution 425 Nano in it and clow is pretty good for soft corals and LPS. The tank has 2-3" of Southdown sand in it and it stays put.
The Koralias have a nice wide dispersed flow pattern not a jet stream like the MJ's do so are much better suited for circulation. |

Re: what size power hesd for a 20g
Minimum flow in a saltwater tank is 10x your water volume. And you go from there. You don't want any deads spot in the tank.

Re: what size power hesd for a 20g
For fish only or soft corals 10x is a good starting point. For LPS and SPS corals 30x or more about the starting point. In my 16G with a modified AC 500 refugium, K1 and nano425 I am somewhere over 65 x and the flow is moderate, it does not even move the Southdown sand around.
