I have a 55 g. planted aquarium (injecting CO2) with a Rena filstar XP3 canister filter thats rated to flow at 350 gph. Also have a uv sterilizer running with a Maxijet 600 (rated flow of 160 gph). I am considering purchasing a Hydor Koralia to increase water circulation but not sure if this would be a good addition. Also, I am unsure what would be too much.
They are rated as follows:
Koralia Nano 240 GPH
Koralia 1 400 GPH
Koralia 2 600 GPH
Koralia 3 850 GPH
I'm thinking, probably the Koralia 1 at 400 GPH might be enough to handle most dead zones and hopefully not too much to upset fish and blow the plants way over. The problem is that I don't have any experience with anything other than traditional powerheads/pumps and must order online and want to save any added expense of return shipping.
Any opinions or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
