    Hello All, I have 4, Hydor Koralia #4 pumps in my 110 gallon reef tank. Each powerhead is attached to Red Sea Wavemaster Pro and each time one starts, it makes an annoying clicking sound from the impeller jumping up and down. Is this normal? Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? Thank you Game24_7

    Thats pretty normal for many power heads to do that. Not much you can do about it.

    I thouht I read in one of the threads that htese powerheads weren't supposed to be on a wavemaker? I could be wrong but I would look into that.

    Thats Right Nemo not intended for use on a wave maker.. Most power heads where not either. The shear pin on the impellers would click and clack on start up. Whit this type of propeller set up shaft wobble is the issue.. No wave maker!

    Ever since I added the new attachment to my maxi jet powerhead, my koralia wont work. It just wont pump out anywater. I've unplugged it for awhile and then tried replugging, but nothing. Any advice?
