Does anyone have one of these pumps?

[Darknes]

It's a Hydor Koralia. It looks like it might work well. From the reviews I've read, they aren't as nice as a Tunze, but for the price they can't be beat.
Does anyone have one in their tank?

I know GreenPuffers does. I have seen it and looks pretty good. She says she likes em.

I have a model 1 in my 20g and it works really well. The flow reaches the whole tank.

I'll probably get a 2 or 3 once some places get them back in stock. The company recalled all of them. I think the 4 might be too much flow in my 55.

Ya I like mine....I cant even hear it running.

Seascape Has one in one of their coral tanks. they look sweet, and the price is pretty good.

Do they have the orange propeller on them? I think I saw some last night at premier in denver, they have a few running in the store.
It's about time some cheaper prop pumps came out. Although I do really like the build on the Tunzes, seperate power supplies with full speed adjustability is nice but man they are high $$$
Only time will tell if these things last more than a year or 2

the #4 ones have an orange prop.

 

[clayspst]

they are good pumps and quiet

just don't put them on an on off wave maker, it needs to be a dimming style wave maker... The on off is not recommended, and will cause them to be noisy because the impeller to rattle when tuned on and off.

Why were they recalled?

 

[Deuce67]

Models 2 and 3 were recalled cuz it was leaking out some electricity. Some already reported that they got shocked.

Well, I bought two of the model 2's, and they've been running a week. I have to say, for the price, I'm very pleased!

They put out some decent flow, but its not in a stream like a powerhead...it's more gentle and spread out. I'd recommend them to anyone, although if you don't like any pumps in your tank, they do take up space. I like how they are adjustable 360 degrees, and use a magnet to hold on.
