Does anyone have this powerhead:

How much GPH is the Hydor Koralia 2
Is it worth $20


Hydor Koralia Pumps | Water Pumps | PetSolutions

 

The Koralia 1 through 4 have been replace by the Evolution Line so you will not be able to get that on back order is my guess. I think it produces 600 to 700 gph.

 

It is definitely worth $20 bucks... one of my not quite LFS has them for almost $60 a piece.

I have one and it is a very good pump. Reliable and quiet. I can't remember how many GPH it is though.

They are out of stock at your link though... at that price, I think I know why.

 

IMO the new Koralia Evolutions are much better. They are quiter and are 100% vibration free. The old k's seem to vibrate a bit and I can feel it on the side of the tank. with the new EVO model...nothing. Better flow as well and a bit smaller.

 

While I love my Korallia Evos, i have to disagre with you on not vibrating. They vibrate a lot depending on the size, but the rubber pads on the magnet part eliminate the vibrations from transfering to your glass. I highly recommend the old Korallias and new Evos.

 

I have 2 Koralia 2s that I have running on a wavemaker for over 3 years clicking away 24hrs a day without one going bad. They are rated at 600gph.

I just ordered last week 2 EVO 1400 to replace them. IMO they are the best pumps for their price.

doesnt the clicking drive you crazy?

 

Lol. No to be honest. The fan on my fixture when its on is even louder!! As for the clicking it may click once or twice when they start up. Really not bad.

Pass on the K2 and go with the new Evolutions series, they are much better pumps. I went from a K3 and two K4's to two Evo 1400s and love them. They are much much smaller, have a better mounting system, are controllable with a timer or controller and best of all use less than half the power of the old K series. And mine are totally silent when switching at 30 second intervals, I have to be looking right at them to see when they switch.
