How much current can little corals take? - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

I use a mini-jet 606 on the inside of my nano. I also upgraded the stock return pump with a maxi-jet 900. Together they create pretty good flow.

I went to the LFS today and picked up a Hydor Koralia Nano Reef Circulation Pump for my 14g biocube.

I've tried a few different locations but I'm still not 100% sure where it would be best placed. The best, from what I can tell, is placing it underneath the return pump (on the side glass wall, facing the opposite side glass wall (tilted towards surface).

Below is a picture of a bio14 (I havent taken any pictures of my tank yet, so this is a picture I googled, however it does show where the stock return pump is located). Any suggestions? Currently my LR are in a horseshoe type patern (along the back wall and sides - though the sides are very low).

Any suggestions would be most appreciated

I would place it on the upper rear wall on one side facing the front tank glass the flow would then do a bank shot off the glass and flow over the rocks breaking up the flow and circulating the entire tank.. Just a thought??
