Recommended Posts

I have a 322 tank,

previously my flow was by a 1262 return pump and 2x k2

felt it was not sufficient, ytd went to bought a k5 to try out.

now my tank is powered by just a k5 and 1262.

My tank are all Lps only. i can visibly see the flesh of my coral such as acan and brain moving.

also the polyps of zoa are moving slight

is it harmful? will it affect them? wanted to get a k4 but saw the watt diff so i tot no harm getting bigger.kinna regret..

Try to aim your wavemaker at the glass to soften and spread out the flow. It's actually better to have 2 pumps of a lower rating. LPS flesh moving a little bit is ok, if they start moving really vigourously will respond poorly and might shrink back into their skeleton. Monitor and adjust their position or the wavemaker's position accordingly.

k5 is overpowered for ur tank. even a k4 is overpowered.... suggest u get a k3 n use with ur k2..... comycus is right abt using 2 lower rate pump rather than 1 high rate pump...
