Hey everyone......I'm new to the saltwater world and am in the process of setting up a 60 gallon FOWLR. I hooked all my equipment up for a wet test and I'm worried that I'm not moving enough water. Bought 2 Hydor Koralia 425s and I'm realizing that they just aren't gonna cut it. They were only $20 each so I'm not that upset but I'm looking for suggestions that will be better suited for my needs.......Thanks!!!

For that size tank I would probably go with two of the Koralia Evolution 850's. Maybe place them up top at opposite sides of the tank facing each other. This will create quite a bit of turbulence in the middle of the tank and then it will disperse towards the sides. You can put the two 425's you already have pretty much anywhere you want after that IMO. Maybe move them around every now & then. GL.

I would leave things alone for now. You can always add or upgrade flow pumps later. You may need to move them around a bit to get the best flow. You may also find that no upgrade is needed.
Sure some expensive, high end flow pumps would be great, but you are not going to need all that day one.
