What type of power head do you use

Running nothing but Koralias. Got a 1 and a 2 in there with a 3 in a box just in case something catastrophic happens, plus I got it for $25 at my LFS's one day sale.

 

Oh man I don't know why anyone would ever want to do that! The more the merrier, eh?

And yes. Hydor should send me free stuff for being such a biased customer We've had our powerheads for 4 months and we only cleaned them once last week. They're super easy to clean too...all we did was tear them down to 3 main parts, let each part soak in some steaming hot tap water, and scrub each one with a wire brush individually to get all the algae and worms out of there. Good as new after that. A friend of mine has a Koralia #2 in his 29 gallon reef, and that thing always stays super clean. I think he's cleaned it twice in the 2 years it's been in there. The tank has been setup for 3 years now so maybe that's why it's so sparkly clean, because our tank is still relatively young.

 

koralia is what I have in my 30 and will be getting a few more for my 135. Very happy with them. Love the magnet mounting and also the ball joint that allows for easy adjustment of flow direction.

Power heads have come a long way since the old suction cup, and tilt tips. Had hagen with my old tanks..worked fine.

 

I loved my old koralias and hate my new ones. The old ones (2 years old) were constructed with a much better grade plastic and my old K3s seem to put out more flow that my new K4s. I did the bucket test and it's too close to even consider the K4s as putting out 1600gph vs the 1200 put out by the K3s. Maybe after a few mods i'll be happier, as for now, my next purchase is either Tunze or Vortech

 

I use Koralia's, never needed a reason to try anything else, and so far so good.

I have to clean the impeller about once every few months, but I have to do the same with the maxi-jet on my skimmer.

 

other: Vortech MP40w...

i also have 1 korilia 2

 

No PH in my tank. I use a Magdrive 18 with 3' of spray bars.;D Luna

 

K4's. .. $35 on ebay. NEW!

 

I have used maxi jets and koralias. Maxi jets are nice because they are inexpensive and work well. However, I prefer Koralias because I think they look nicer, are easier to move around and take out, and have a broader flow, where a maxi jet has a more narrow flow out of it

 

Bang for the buck you can't beat Maxi Jet, these things are like the swiss army knife of power heads. I have three of them hooked up to my wavemaker in my 110 as well as 3/4" loc line with the flat nozzle on my Mag 12 return and a SCWD. I use a Koralia 1 in my RSM.
