If you are asking about a Hydor Koralia pump, what are you planning to have in the tank? sand? Probably a 1 is the safest, but if you really want high flow and won't have a sand bed, you might be able to use a 2. (I had a 2 in my 29 and it was a lot of flow.)

Are we talking PH's??? I saw a 29 cube with a Koralia nano in it...looked like it was working pretty well.

True, I forgot about the nano, that is probably the best choice for you, the 1 is pretty big.

This is an established tank, my power head is ugly these are more attractive.
So just 1 nano for the whole tank? Would that be enough flow?

Is this an all-in-one cube?...if so with the included circ pump I would think a Koralia nano would be good, especially if you use it against the flow from the internal pump.

1 nano should be plenty.

You may also want to consider a Hydor Flo for the output of your onboard PH.
Check out my Nano thread to see that that looks like.
