Hydor Koralia - Which one for a 55g?

[jpc763]

I am considering swaping my MJ1200's with Hydor Flo attachments to the Hydor Koralia.
My question is, which ones?
I also have about 500gph return pump.

i have a 2 in my 55...i love it

Biggest you can buy x2, but then again I like a lot of flow.

I currently have my return pump along the back wall and my MJ's on each side pointing to the front glass.
Would you get 2 Hydor Koralia #2 and put them in place of the MJ's?

I have 2 #3's in a 72 bowfront and wish I had 2's.

I have 2 number 2's, 1 number 3, and a couple of nanos in my 55. I just got the #3 last week and with the flow that one puts out, I will be rearranging and may pull one of the #2's.

Which is the Hydor Flo attachment? If its just the rotating flow tip, why not get a Sure Flow 1600 kit and keep the MJ1200?

With the kit, the MJ1200 put out much more flow than the Koralias and are cheaper since you already own the MJ1200.

I have a #2 and a #3 in my "bad boy" 55 FOWLR. I used to have a pair of #4s, but that was too much for me. I might replace the #2 with another #3.

I would do 2 #2s

Yes, I have the rotating flow tip. I am not familier with the Sure Flow mods. Do they "rotate" the current like the Koralia or the Flo?

Do a google search on them. Its like 14.99 for the kit and they can put out either 1600 gph or 2100 gph depending on which impellar you use.
From what Ive read around on --, they put out a better flow pattern to the Koralia, but regardless, its a very wide flow pattern.
Its so easy to make the conversion. I would recommend getting the sure grip magnets as well.
I would link a website for you, but its not allowed on this site.
What you get (before they offered the larger impellar):

What it looks like (w/ the magnet):
