more the better..but dependent on the fish preference and corals.
Though it may state 1200L per hour ( say tank vol is 200L) making it 6 x but power will be reduced by the time it reach destination and drastically reduced if u have "T" joints and elbow joint (right angle) may be 3 x most do not say...but branded powerheads would have info on this. |
