Koralia 4 too much?

Would one of these (1200gph) be too much for a 45G tall? The tank is 36" long, 12 inches wide, and 24" tall. Right now I have a MJ900 (235 gph), an Aqua Clear 70 (400gph), and my sump return at about 600gph. I would remove both existing powerheads and replace with the single Koralia. It is the beginning of a reef tank and I want to increase the flow. I keep having to move the two power heads around to try and eliminate dead spots. Would I be better off with the #3? I am also concerned with having something that looks way too big in the tank. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks

it may be too much for some corals, you would probably be better off though with 2 smaller hk's, one on each side of the tank for directional flows.

Hey, you said the #3's are strong. Is that too strong for your 125? What type coral do you have? I'm looking into getting #3 vs #4. Trying to decide which to get.

I would stick with multiple heads in different places just to make sure you get flow all over your tank.

can you put multiple heads on a Koralia? I thought they had the one large head that was already dispersed significantly.
