Hi folks,
I'm setting up my first saltwater tank soon, a 15g tall hexagon. I'll start FOWLR but hope to add a few corals as soon as I can. I'm particularly interested in Xenia and mushroom corals, which I've read like moderate flow. That's about 30-40x turnover correct? Any recommendations for a good quality, quiet circulation pump given those parameters and the tall rather than long tank shape?
I was looking at the Hydor Koralia Nano 425 GPH but that only provides 28x flow. Should I get the 565 instead or would that be too much? I plan to keep a pair of Ocellaris in this tank and I've read they sometimes struggle when the flow is very high. Any other good pumps besides Koralia I should look at?
Thanks in advance!
