So, I am upgrading to a 75 gallon (reef ready with overflow) from a 55 gallon. I have a few questions about equipment
I currently have two Koralia 3s, will I need another powerhead for more flow?
What return pump should I get? I don't have the tank yet so I am not sure what size pipes I will be needing to use....
thanks in advance, I am stressing because I am also moving May 22.

If you are upgrading, why not to 90? Its almost the same size as the 75, and those extra 15 gals are so fun :). Depends on what you are keeping, but two K3s are fine, maybe one small in the middle. YOu have a fuge, or a wet/dry? Oh, does the tank has the overflows in the corners, or about 6 inches from it. If its in the corner, its cool, but I have a tank with overflows away from corners, and its annoying, dead spots.

I am too short for a 90. I custom made my stand myself and it's already tall as crap with my 55 on it. the overflow is going to be in the corner. I have a wet/dry currently. But I am planning on getting a fuge set up in the next few months.

Are you inclined to go external or submersible pump? Eheim would be an excellent choice for submersible....

As for the flow, perhaps you could get an inexpensive wave maker and throw in another ph, a korelia 2, if you could still find it. JBJ has a small wave maker you could find for 30$ or so. Have one ph constant, and the other two switching. I just ordered one, will let you know how they are. Reviews were mostly positive, but I will judge for myself.
