powerheads for nano

[DJ Oetting]

i am going to purchase some new powerheads for my 20g nano and the ones i want pump 220gph is this too much flow for my 20g

I ran a mag 9.5 return on a SCWD (approx 500gph) and a MP10 full tilt on a biocube 29 and I had LPS, SPS, and some softies as well as a giant brittle star, clowns and a pink spot goby. So I think you'll be ok....IMO more flow is better....

ok so say i wante to run 2 of these powerheads one on each side of my tank to eliminate dead spots the powerhead i am looking at is the Hydor Koralia Evolution Powerhead (240 GPH) for nano's. Is this going to be too much flow for a 20g or is my best bet to just get the 2 o them and try it out an once i have livestock in my tank let the livestock tell me if its too much or not lol

The more the better.....my clowns would surf the currents around the tank!
