Hydor Koralia #1 in 20G...ok?

[mojohoojo]

Okay i think i know why i had huge nitrates spike recently. i found out that theres a "few" dead spots in the tank...do yo think this can contributed to the problem!?
i can't get Hydor Nano so the best i can purchase is #1 which is 400GPH.....my HOB is already running around 250GPH but i think i need to add a suitable pump. what do you think?!

The 1 will be fine in your tank IMO.

yes, I just bought a #1 and #2 last week. they are nice little pumps, but imo, they don't blow nearly as hard as they're rated to. I personally don't think the #1 come anywhere close to blowing 400 gph

Wooohhoo!!!! tanks mates!.....lets do some shoppings~!

I think the #1 should do fine in your tank...I have a #2 on mine (same size as yours, 20g H) and it does the trick.

The Koralias are designed to 'feel' like they're pushing much less water around then they actually are.

I have a 1 and a 2 in a 29 and it seems like a good amount of flow. If you're going with just one powerhead I would go with a 2.

i just ordered a #1 for my 20g, i have a 200gph HOB filter and my skimmer is about 85gph, i might keep the power head in there now(up200gph) when i add the hydor koralia but i see how much current there is.

yeah i have 2 #1's in my 29g and would add an other on if i didnt need all my money for my new 125g
