Re: Water Flow adding new power head + light Q
mine is an Aqueon Circulation Pump - 1250
and it is a BEAST! if not angled properly it shoots everything across the tank.
Yours should do the job ... just be careful of the placement and don't point it towards the sand

30" tanks are a pain in the a** in that they limit your brand choices for lights, since not all companies make that size. My friend with a 30" got a nice Aquatic Life fixture...

Re: Water Flow adding new power head + light Q
I have 2 koralia knock off 790's only 20bucks for both on ebay and they are beast. I can only run one at a time and i have had to shave down the empellor a little to soften the flow. Its a gentle flow even b4 shaveing just to much for my 36" long tank. For lights i have a 36" Current USA double PC 1-96w 10k and 1-96w 50/50 blue actinic/fiji purple. The fiji brings out the neon pink in my shrooms like crazy. You could probably get away with a 24"fixture if you can find a way to mount it on your tank.

Got my evo 750 from Amazon for $23. Had ordered a discontinued 600 model and they must not have had it so they filled the order with the new 750 instead. Love it.

Koralia are defiantly the way to go and two pump are preferred to prevent dead spots. First get a Koralia Nano 425gph and then deiced on what to get next for the other side, a koralia 750 might be too much for one corner.sao870 wrote:ok im adding a new power head any body here using Hydor Koralia Evolution 750 Aquarium Pump, 750 gph......... if so what are you Opinions of it and so forth...

For a 30" tank a single metal halide pendant is going to be the best if you plan on keeping corals, you wont have to upgrade as you get into harder to keep corals.
