Flow Director on Koralia

[sedor]

I never used the flow director pieces (the part on the end that goes over the cone and directs the flow), but i've noticed in almost every FTS I see on here with Koralias that they have them on there. I went ahead and put mine on, but is this necessary? Is there a reason its better to use these, or is everyone just putting them on because it came in the box?

I use them to keep my fish safe.

That's definitely a good point, but i've never had a fish get into it.

Bump for all you morning reefers

I keep mine off for a wider flow.

Depends on which ones you're running. The K4's are notorious for only blowing out of 2 of the 4 holes in front. So I put them on my 4's but my 2's are off.

I have 2 K3 and 2 K4s. All mine are off. I dont like the way the flow directors look. Also I find that if I turn the K4s to the right position I can send flow to any two spots I want since the water flows out of only two holes like mentioned above.

mine are off as well. I kinda figure that if a fish can swim in there against the flow (i have #4's) , it'll spit him right back out anyway

I put mine on and have had them on for a bit. The only difference I really notice is that its not blowing my substrate around as much. I haven't decided on whether or not to keep them on or not yet.
