Cora life digital thermometer

pinnacle 100 gph 4 stage RODI system

2 koralia and maxi jet 900 powerhead

All advice welcome.

What size koralia do you have?
Im not sure how you sized you flow rates, it would be the best time to nail that down.

Will you be starting with soft coral? They are not as tolerant to flow as stony corals are.
