I have a 28 gallon and i was wondering which Hydor Koralia I should get 1 2 3 or 4
THANX!

I have a 3 and a 4 in my 72..I would go 3...of coarse that depends on how much flow your looking for...fish only?...reef?

I have a 20 gal and I run a 1 and max jet 1200 in opposite corners of the tank.
I would recomend two nanos or two 1s. That will give you 500-800 gph. depending on what you chose.
IMO the 2,3,4 is just too powerful for a small aquarium.
Great pumps though.

The 1 flows 300 te 2 is 600 3 is 900 4 is 1200 GPH. I would go with a pair of 1's and leave the flow concentrator off it and let it flow all over the place. I am running 2 4's and a 3 in my 150 and my fish are like current and love it. Needless to say Deep spots WHAT DEAD SPOTS. One flows behind my LR the others are in fornt heading to each other from the bottom of the tank.

i hv two koralia 3 and one koralia 2 in my 72. but it depends on what corals u hv.

I have two K2's in my 50 and they seem like a little too much if they're both running, so I usually just run one of them. For a tank half the size, I'd try a K1 and see how it is, maybe add a second K1 if you want more flow. The K1 should generate less heat than the K2 also, it uses a lot less power.

What are the dimensions? If it's a longer tank, I'd probably go with 2 smaller ones, but if it's a taller, more square tank, one bigger one. I would say either two 1s or one 2.

Depends on tank size and use. I use mine in a 150g and primarily is for the leather toadstool. It likes the mild to medium current. I dont use the concentrator and leave it a foot away and the flow is weak to mild at six inches and mild at 12 inches and it disperses everywhere. The pump cage is small enough to not take up room. I would imagine the 2,3,4 would be too big for me. I am considering the nano and keeping it close to what I need it for. Use a big one if you use it for aeration (point it to the top) or if you use it to move water the length of the tank.
The smaller the tank, the more the flow. Mine just gets lost in the 150g and only one area of about a cubic feet get decent flow which is perfect for what I do. It is controlled. I like many small ones than one large for control and it is more fun to aquascape.

I run a koralia 3 and a 4 in my 75 gallon it certainly keeps things from building up.

I suggest you use 2 Maxi Jet 1200s in there, forget the Koralia Nano, I could'nt even tell it was on in a 6 gallon tank. The MJ-12s will work just fine for your needs, one in each corner.

Go with the nanos. They are small (which is great!) but powerful. Take care!
