Simplicity Pump 1600 DC Vs. Hydor Koralia For Nano Tank 20 Gallon

[hotsauce85]

Hello,

Is the Simplicity Pump 1600 overkill for a Red Sea Nano 20/21 gallon or am I better off with a Hydor Koralia Powerhead instead? Are the two mutually exclusive or actually compatible and augment each other? I would like to put some LPS and maybe SPS in there along with a few clown or wrasse in the tank. Please let me know what I should be considering as I'm coming back to the hobby after a few years with a FOWLR tank. Thanks!

Yes, the two are mutually exclusive. One is for providing the return to your tank and the other is a powerhead to improve water flow.

Thanks. Any recommendations you would recommend for each of those components I mentioned with those respective brands?
