I have a 240 one in my 6g nano. Depending on what you LR structure will be and if you have additional water flow sources will help you determine what will work best. Also depends on what you plan to keep. I prefer a stronger flow in my tank b/c I have gorgs in it. Hope this helps

420gph, bc if you put two knano in there it will take up too much space...

Is there gping to be any additional filter on this tank, If so, I think the 240 would be fine to help get rid of any dead space around you LR set up. I like something with a little surface agitation and some movement between rocks.

no additional filters besides the return pump with a upgraded maxijet 900... which i will have it crreating surfage agitation...
whats a good turnover for this size of tank? Also how can i position my knano? i see people pointing it upwards from a low position and some pointint straight, while others blow torwards the rock.

i eneded up going with the 240... traded in some fw fish for it.. now rock and sand left to start it up!

Return it and get the 420. The 240 version is very weak. I have both version in my cadlight 12g. Now I just upgrade to a MP10 to replace both.
