40 Gallon tank salt water circulation pump?

Hi everyone,

I have a 40 Gallon tank of salt water where i would like to have fish and soft coral.

The dimension of the tank are: 30 inch long 13 inch deep and about 22 inch high

I know i need to put some water circulation pump and don't know which one to choose between koralia or aqueon.

So I have 2 questions:

Question 1: What pump do you prefer / is better and why, koralia or Aqueon?

Question 2: What pump (water flow) should i get and how many and where should I put them in the tank?

Thanks you for your help

Update:

So far I have a Remora Aqua C protein Skimmer and a fluval 304 for filtration

    I had a problem with an Aqueon and was able to get help from the distributor.

    I assume you want a reef tank. Corals cannot move like fish to get food. Soft corals don't like a lot of flow. I would stick to about 20 times and see how they do. So for an 40 gallon, I would use up to 800 gallons per hour flow.

    I definitely prefer the Koralia. A single koralia Nano should suffice for a 40g. Are you using a hob filter as a refugium, or what type of filtration will the tank have? Protein skimmer?
