for 55 gallon tank is 2x Hydor Koralia 1500 too much or okay?

That sounds like too much to me. I'm using 2 700/800 koralias in my 55 reef tank and still have some issues with sand turning into a mountain in sections of my tank but I get excellent movement. My tank contains SPS and LPS corals.

I have 2 koralia 1650 in a 125 (72 inch length) and they are too much for the tank as a placed a partial obstruction in front to tame them down. I also have 2 850 which do not seem enough. For a 55 gallon I would stick with the 850 to 1000 range. I do like their magnetic base and wide column of water generated. I have mostly crushed coral salt tank with some aragonite sand. The sand is a problem with too much turbulence. Just one of the 1650 will transverse the whole 72 inch tank

i think 2 of hydor koralia 1500 is too much on the 55 gallon tank. i have a smallest one(550-600gph) on my 35 tank(fresh water), and the size(not power level) a kind of big on the tank, it will bother your view for the tank. i feeling too much stuff on my simple iwagumi tank.other thing is 2 of 1500 maybe too strong to running the water to messed up your plant or decorations. if you want to get 2 of those on it , small one is good enough .

Aquarium i dont know i put these Recirculation pumps in a 5 gallon tank to mix my nutrients for Gardening. i'd say for a 55 gallon maybe its okay i don't know

1 is barely enough 2 shouldn't hurt I have 2500gph in my 55 and it could take more a good rule of thumb go salt water is "a minimum of 20gph flow per 1 gallon of tank volume" so a 55 needs a minimum of 2100 gph also just watch your aquarium and give it what it likes

It depends on what you are doing with the tank. I have 2 in a 120 gallon mixed reef. ..

Sorry for the late reply. .I have this in my 150 and I have to point it toward the back to deflect the flow. Otherwise, too strong a current!

They only recommend the 3152 for tanks up to 50 gals. so the 3155 might be a better option for you.

I would say the 700 or the 1200. The 700 is good for up to 65 gallons, so that would hopefully be enough for the turtle. I hear they are pretty messy though, so it wouldn't hurt to go with the 1200 which is good for up to 150 gallons. It seems like a lot, but you cant really have too much filtration. It would require less maintenance, keep the water crystal clear, and allow for you to use it for a larger aquarium if you decided to upgrade. It's totally up to you with your future plans and how much money you have at the moment.

I'd be hesitant. 25w is way oversized for a one gallon. marineland makes a good 10w preset that I've used in 2.5's but even then the water was warmer than I expected.

It's a bit weak for a proper 5 gallon tank. Go for the Hydor Theo 25 watt submersible. It has adjustable temperature settings and doesn't cook my snails when they crawl over it.

To answer your question truthfully... it all depends on your tank and what you're trying to do. You may be okay with a 500. This is my experience with the 750 pump on my 75 gallon heavily planted FW tank. I bought it when I had only one 55/75 aqueon filter because I wanted to circulate the water better. I think for my intended purpose, I bought TOO big of a pump because it kept uprooting my live plants despite it being placed close to the top of the tank and aimed up. I felt like the pump size I bought was too big and instead of buying a smaller size circulation pump, I opted to take it out and buy a second 55/75 aqueon filter. With two filters running, my tank has plenty of circulation so I don't feel like I need to add a circulation pump to my tank. Even though I don't use it in my tank(s), I feel it was a good purchase as I felt it was doing a good job of moving the water and it was quiet. Plus, I still use it occasionally to circulate the water in my bathtub while I'm curing big pieces of driftwood that I can't boil.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

Maybe. The Hydor is fairly large and 1050 gph in a 40 gallon freshwater tank may be too much...I have a reef tank and more flow is typically better. My Hydor gave me a few problems by stalling and required frequent cleaning, but again, this may be due to the saltwater. I switched to the Tunze 6045, which is a lot quieter and hasn't stalled once. They are more expensive but there is the 6025 that's reasonable and is 740gph. I'd recommend doing more research for freshwater tanks, but I'd think that 740gph would be good for a 40 gallon tank.

It says 100 ml treats up to 50 gallons of water so I would assume 2 would be too much. I use 100 ml for 46 gallons and the tank is sparkling and only water changes every 4 or 5 weeks

I'd get 2 depending on how long the tank is. My tank is 5 gallons but I bought it to grow my floating plants. It's a bright lamp

Might be overkill for a tank that small. I believe Hydor makes a smaller version than the 425 that might be more suitable...

I have a 60 gallon and from what I have seen as long as you can maintain 80psi you should be fine. Hope this helps.

Hi there. I think you are going to love you SeaClear aquarium. I put 25 lbs of substrate in mine and that seems to be plenty. More and you will have more problems keeping it clean. By the way, I just bought a Python water changer (on Amazon, look it up.) Now I can't imagine how I ever did without it! It makes weekly water changes a breeze. It may seem pricey if this is your first aquarium, but it's worth every penny. After you carry gallons of water back and forth for a few weeks, you'll see why. Aquariums are addictive and I now have a 50 gallon SeaClear and the 40 gallon. Would have more - even bigger - but I don't have the room! Good luck. Hi there.

I would use two for a 5.5 gallon tank. Or pick up a smaller aquaclear filter.

I am very sorry I don't know much about this, but so far it is very good. I have 15 gal. tank only. Thanks

I can't say for sure but I can say that this is a great light system for a planted tank. I believe it would be more than enough for your 55. I have several of these fixtures on planted tanks and they work great.

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in
