20gal rimless coral/frag tank

[Delphinus]

That looks awesome.

Is that a Koralia in there then? How does the flow look? The fanning-out pattern of the output isn't creating too much surface disturbance? I mean, of course it's good to have agitation but you wouldn't want splashing for example.

Yes, it's a koralia nano, it's a great little pump for my 8gal nano but in the new coral tank i think i need more power just because of the dimentions of the tank. The return outlet does fan out but it doesn't create any surface problems, the pump itself is not very powerful (700gph) with 2 feet of head to over come. It pretty much pours out.

In some of the pictures i took this morning (not posted yet) i have a koralia 4 (too blow the newly added salt around) in the tank and it doesn't put water out side the tank or splash up, I think it's still a bet much for the future frags in that tank so i'll most likely find some kind of power head in the middle for this system.

Thanks guys, I think ill pick up some acros, live rock and egg grates this week.

I want to use the LR as a kind of natural baffle in the sump to block fine air bubbles from getting to my return pump.
