Too much flow?

[SaltwaterNoob17]

I was going to buy a Koralia Evolution 750 today to add to my 46 gallon aquarium. I already have 1 Tunze 6045 (1200 gph) on the left side of my tank, and 1 Koralia 3 (850 gph) on the right side. The LR in my aquarium is stacked in the middle of the tank, allowing for fish and corals both in front of and behind the LR. The aquarium has good flow, except the backside is a little lacking (I placed a red pocillopra there that I think could use more flow). I thought a Koralia Evolution 750 would solve the problem, but I was advised at the fish store today that the Koralia would be "too much flow". What do you guys think?

If you only want flow for behind the rocks you can buy a smaller powerhead like a k1 or knano to stick behind there.

IMO.You dont have to much flow UNLESS the sand is in suspension.:D

Thanks guys. :D

Yeah, I might try something smaller. The guy at the LFS recommended a maxi-jet 600, and I think I have one (or something of the sort) hiding in my garage somewhere... :question: :mrgreen:

Unless your tank looks more like a blender than a reef, then you can always use more flow.
