i have a 125 g and trying to find the best type of circ for this size..ive been hearing a lot about the koralias..any input on those and what is recomm for my size tank? two number threes? where should they be located. have heard varying opinions on this subject and doesnt help when none are the same!! thanks
i also have a 125, and i run 3 #4s and a sieo1500 with a 1200gph return pump. i have mine positioned 2 on each end. 2 #4s one one end aimed at the center of the tank, and 1 #4 and the sieo on the other end aimed so that the flow meets in the middle somewhere. of course the sieo is pushing a ton more water, so that makes the flow more chaotic from that end.

i am also making a couple of DIY eductors to go on the return lines to pretty much quadruple my flow from the return lines. i am thinking about making a DIY eductor podcast video on these.

Reaching my 70th BD, I realize that I cannot help but grow old. However, I refuse to grow up!!! My wife would tell you, "He may be 70 but, He's going on 17". Life is wonderful with a woman like that.
I used Koralia 4s on my 90G and I am going to be using 4 of them on my other 2 tanks. I really like the random flow you get and you really can't beat the price considering how much Tunze's and other water movements devices are selling for. It think it really comes down the personal preference and how much $$$ you are willing to spend . I am in the process of setting up a closed-loop system using the new 1" SCWDs. This is larger than the old SCWD and the lid can be removed for easy maintenance.
This article was given to me about water movement in a reef tank. It really helps shed some light on the subject. Advanced Beginnings.
I have 2 koralia 4's in my 40g and love it.. I want more flow.. I'm buying a 50 tall tank soon so I might bump up my return to a mag 9 for a lil more flow.. I like the koralia cause of the wide flow they give out.. at first I had 2 seio 620and that didn't seem like enough flow.. in other word's "I LIKE'S!!"
