    hydor koralia 3

    It will be the only pump in a 37. The only other real thing for water movement will be my return with isnt pushing much and the overflow. Is the koralia 3 too much, too little or just right? By the way it is a fish only, no corals

    aqua C Urchin Pro skimmer, which pump?

    I am going to finally get a new skimmer and I think I am going to get an Urchin Pro, but it is offered with 2 different pumps, the rio 1400 and the mag 350. The one with the mag is $20 more expensive, is it worth it? This skimmer is probably way overkill for my tank, but I am so sick of hair...
