How is your tank set up? FO, FOWLR or a reef
For a reef you might want 20 to 30 times flow. Your filter, protein skimmer and powerheads all count towards your overall gph. If you have a sump you also count the gph of your water pump, although you lose some gph with head pressure (the distance the water has to travel to get back to your tank). Someone on here will have more info.

2 Koralia 2's would give you an additional 1200gph. The 2's are 600 gph each, the 3's are 850 and the 4's 1200. I am just giving you stats. I wish someone else would chime in as to what would be optimum for your tank.
I do have a maxi jet 1200. Do you think i should add that?

A MJ 1200 gives you 295 gph. Just direct them so that there is no dead spots in your tank.
How many PH's would you put on a 80 gal?
Just added the maxi-jet!
one more ? where would you place them?
