Water flow

[Ghxst]

I'm looking at setting up a living room 10g nano (wifes restrictions since we will be moving in 3 years) And am looking at getting a wp10. It will be a zoa tank and as Andrew has said that would be 500gph at 50%. With the filter(s)/refug mod I am making I expect to have the 500gph from the wp-10 + 150gph. Is 650 gph going to shoot water out of my tank, LOL?

Most importantly water flow recommendations for coral have sweet non-descriptive values like, low, moderate and high and I cant find a numerical value. Could someone please break it down for me, say what moderate water flow is, and what is best for a moderate intermittent coral like a zoa, please?

Thanks!

According to the 8th review down on this page, 450gph was to much in a 14 g cube. http://www.marinedepot.com/Hydor_Ko...m_Powerheads-Hydor_USA-HD00715-FIPHFF-vi.html

However I would recommend the nano240 in that same link as Hydor makes a great power head in my opinion.

I have a jbj 12 gallon with a rio 600 gpm in the sump I have tried the Korala 420 and 240 in the tank,My nems like the 240 alot better I think my clowns do to they are not fighting the current all the time.I also have a Aqua spin stream on the 600 return.This combo seams the best for me

Thank you for the advice! I think I even have a spare 240 somewhere around here.
