hydor powerheads

[fishbait]

has anyone here had any experience with the hydor koralia powerheads? i just purchased one from the two doctor today. they really seem like a lot of bang for the buck

I have 2 of the Koralia Model 2.....I like them especially for the price.They have a nice wide flow and if you put two pointing towards one another it gives almost a natural back and forth flow.Besides,they look like a weapon of mass destruction and a little big,I like em' so far.

lol, they do remind me of a weapon. i ordered the model 1. i'll see how i like it and maybe i'll order another and scrap the pissant maxijet 600 i've been running.

I have a pic posted in the thread "Tunze Nanostream".The Model 2 Koralia is about the size of the Maxi-Jet 600 with a flow rotator.I think the Model 1 is smaller.I think you're like 'em.Definitely go with two,the way the flow crash into each other makes it look very natural.

Definitely has bang for the buck!

yeah, i noticed that thread about 5 minutes after i posted this one. they are on sale right now it would be the time to by another. i will have to wait another week or so. it took a couple days to talk my wife into letting me buy this one. and i quote "just one more thing for the tank dear, i promise"

I think the 2doc's prices will stay the way they are now.This is the original price,if they go back up again try Thatpetplace.com.I hear ya on the wifey thing,do like I do,don't tell her.

Wish that would with my wife.Im always getting a friendly reminder about how the last thing I needed was supposed to BE the last thing.

just thought i would update. my koralia has been running for a few weeks and this thing is awesome. i just bought the number 1 and the flow is amazing. i couldn't imagine what the number 4 would do! i would definately recommend them

Hey Fish
Where you been hiding at?
I bought 2 of the model 4s and sent one back.Both was way to much for my 55.IMO I think there flow is some what under rated.
Im still having trouble getting mine positioned so that my sand dont all get blown up in a big pile under the rocks.

i was reading about those hydor powerheads...they look like they gets the job done...but i was thinking....why they doesnt come with a switch from 1 to 4 so flow cant be controlled??..instead of buying different models from 1 to 4..that way the user can adapt the flow to his aquarium needs!!..just a though...
