Anyone use or used Koralia powerheads?

[FSU]

Not familiar with them at all. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Was contemplating getting 2 for my 75g, or should I just fess up the extra money and get a Tunze?

[BA]

i was looking at them today online looking for some extra current in my tank, interested if anyone has used them also. BUMP...even tho it sonly been like 1 minute ha

[profntbtr]

yes i have 2. they are awesome. glittering praise.

For a while, no-one in S.A. could keep them in stock. They have a good reputation, are easy to attach and aim, and a pretty reasonable price. We have a 4 and a 2 in the 100 gallon and a 1 in the 20 gallon nano. No complaints from us.

Hope this helps....

I got a #1 for my 45g and wasn't impressed with the flow from it. I then upgraded to a #3 and it is almost too strong! They do offer a lot more ease in mounting and aiming than a regular powerhead and are fairly easy to clean as well.

I was thinking of going with 2 3's in my 75g.

You think 2 3's would be too strong then for a 75g?

I'm running a #2 in my 55 gal along with a Maxi-Jet 1200. I prefer the Koralia by far. It's quiet, easy to mount, easy to point, easy to clean and gives a broader current. I like them enough to get a second for my 90 gal that I'm building. You won't be disappointed if you get the right size Koralia for you tank.

I just put 3 #4's in my 150 and they are great!

[BA]

hey that # 4 or maybe 3, do u think the magnetic holder would be able to hold the powerhead with my 1 inch think acrylic???

[reeferRob]

I just ordered 2 #4s to supplement the tunze's in my 180, I've heard nothing but good about them

[erebus]

I have two #3s on my 90 gal hex and love them. FSU I think two #3s would work. My hex is only 30" or so wide.

Not a whiz in measurements, but this link says glass up to 15 mm in thickness for the magnet.

Looked up a conversion chart and I believe 15mm is 0.6 inches. So I would guess probably not.

Imo I Dont Think Its Too Much. I Had A Seio M1100 And Koralia #4 In My 50 Gallon N No Problems Now They R In My 75 Gallon N I Still Want Another #4 For The 75 Gallon

I think it would be fine.

As far as the magnetic holder goes, the mount that goes inside the tank also works as a big suction cup. So the magnetic part and the suction part kind of work together, although I've removed the outside magnet part a few times and the body stayed in place inside the tank.

My girlfriend's got a #4 in her freshwater setup; the arowana she had used to love to play in the flow. I've currently got 2 #4s for my my 110g, and a Koralia Nano for her 29g nano, and it creates nice flow in there.

[BA]

cool thanks i guess ill try just one first and see if it sticks

[apedroza]

I love the koralias!!! I wa sone of the first people to try them on this site and now have 2 #4's. BA they also have a suction cup attached too the magnet that helps them stay on a little better.

[oceancube]

i used one koralia 4 on my 120 and it was awsome, i cant use it on my lil 40 breeder so im going to sell it, hit me up in the forsale forums, but overall awsome pump!!!!

[BIGBIRD123]

I have three of them in my 135g along with two Seio 2600. I love them and we will be having some of them as auction items in the near future. So stay tuned to the meetings schedule...

I absolutely love them. I'm running a #3 and #4 in my 40 gal. breeder with some minor sand shifting when they are both running. Will probably go to 2-#3's.
Also have a #1 on 25 gal. tall. #4 made a little noise for about 2 weeks then went silent. Guess it needed breaking in. The new ones come with a protective shield for the fan blade and flow directionals attachment. It allows you to let the flow go in all directions or one strong current

I forgot about the suction cup. BA, let us know how it works out. Something to keep in mind for future reference. I think I am definitely going to go with 2 #3's. That would be about 22.67 x for my tank.

[Mr Cob]

I have 2 number 3's in my 120 tall tank. I heard the # 4's have a rough start when turned off and back on and can be loud.

I'm completely 100% satisfied with my number 3's!

[chapel210]

I have a koralia 2 in my 75g, and it does a great job!! I've got flow all over the tank!

[FSU]

Picked up 2 #3's today and set them up. Nice flow and amazingly quiet! Was actually very surprised!

[ST3PH3N]

i have one #2 and its almost enough for my 46, but very happy with it
