Hydor Koralia Question

Hey everyone.

Well, I am finally sick of my Rio powerheads!

One of the interior turbines "burst" and...well...i am looking into new powerheads. Has anyone heard anything about Hydor Koralia 1 Circulation Pump/Powerhead UL 400 gph (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Powerheads > Fixed Flowrate Pumps ) ...for some reason i fell as though this was given away as a prize a few months backs.

 

We run one of the Koralia 3s in our 180. It's a great pump and they fly off the shelves at the LFS around here.

 

Cool. I was looking at their 400gph powerheads. Do you think that two of those plus my one working Rio H8 powerhead would be ok for the 55g? I was also looking into one of those newfangled wave-makers to go with it. So I would have my Rio split in one corner and then the two new kids in the other aiming in different direction (maybe alternating).

 

That's a heck of a lot of flow, maybe even too much. For your 55, I would suggest you get 2 of the Koralia 2s and place them on opposite sides of the tank

 

I have one #3 Koralia on one side pointed kinda middle and towards the front of the tank and the other side I have the Tunzi that I won. I have to admit, the Koralia puts out a lot more flow than the Tunzi!<~~~isn't that adorable!)

 

Ya, See...i know that the other H8 rio is gona crap out sooner or later and was just gona get two so i dont need to make another trip to the store...but maybe I should just retire the rio before it dies..

 

i got the # 2 few months ago. It is really nice. extra attachments for flow, and a really strong magnet.my clownfish swim in it all day. the flow is kinda divided in to 4 sectons 2 flow stong and the other 2 are softer. overall great product.

 

Hey mate! Koralia is great! However you can't use it with wave maker! It will brake after few minutes of operation! Please check reviews section and maybe PM people who tried to run them with wave makers. Hydor Koralia 2 review.

 

I Have The 2 But When I Got Mine They Had Just Came Out So I Didnt Get The Extra Flow Attachment Sure Could Use It Now

 

Thanks for the tip, that would have been a bad idea!!
