I have a single k2. I use it in a 10g qt sometimes. It was purchased 2 years ago, but actual use is probably 10-12 months between qt and frag tanks. I have maxijets for that now and need a k4 sized power head.
I had 1 in a 10g aquarium 75% full. i had no sand in the bottom as i was visiting my parents(who have no saltwater aquarium) and my uncle was in town who has a 300 head colony of frogspawn, a toadstool 22" wide, and 7years worth of solid growth colonies who was giving me mini colonies of this stuff. I help acans, toadstools, zoas, etc... in a 10g with one of these and they extended fine and seemed happy. it would have been too much flow for kenya tree or xenia type corals. if you used it, that would be the only powerhead you need, but unless you are doing the waving softie corals it would probably be fine. those corals were housed in that setup for a 3 day weekend. I used two of them in a 15g frag tank with success, but once again no pest corals. it all depends on what you are keeping. I could be wrong because of the shape of the cube tho.
I had anthelia.... in my humble opinion, you should get rid of them, then when they grow back, get rid of them again... (repeat this process til they finally stop growing back) then, go with zoas, and lps like acans, frogspawn, trumpet/candycane, and maybe a montipora NOT A CAP! because those are as bad as kenya trees. because in a 29 biocube, a kenya tree will take over 1 rock, the polyps extend, then in the current they beat everything around them like a whip. each variety will need about 25% of your tank to look cool and will have a 4" death ring around it where nothing wants to grow.. when they propagate themselves and start popping up everywhere you will have a species only reef lol.... it is great for a 4' tank and looks awesome. people that have no idea what goes in to keeping a reef tank like to watch those corals sway and eat more than they like to look at LE sps corals. Just slap the k2 on your back wall, point it at the surface front and center, then let the remodeling begin. heh
