New Hydor pump

Take that Tunze.

Companies are FINALLY jumping on the prop pump bandwagon. Its about time. Hopefully they'll be cheap. ( a prop pump is no more expensive than a maxijet to make, people just are willing to pay more)

A couple more manufacturers, and cheap, efficient flow will be available to all.
 
The product looks great and Hydor makes great products. I think is is comparable to the Tunze nano streams. The biggest one does 1200 gph. Maybe they will expand the line to compete with the 6060 & 6080 streams.
 
where are you getting that info greg? I'd like to find out more.

I'm wondering if they will make a magnet to hold onto 1" thick glass?

Click to expand...

Looking at those, and the nano-streams, it looks like the hydor has a much more open shroud. That means they will probably be a little more diffuse, and use slightly less electricity.
 
Well.... Not so fast.

Not so great of the prices nor gph ratings.

Still more vendors for propeller pumps can only help the competition. I'll stick with my MJ mods for now :)

emailed them about being on a wavemaker:

Hello,

The Koralia should be available at retail sometime in Jan/Feb 2007 at retailers like Drs. Foster & Smith, That Fish Place, Marine Depot, and many other retail locations, etc.

The Koralia is not recommended for stop/start wavemakers, but it will work well on speed control wavermakers.

Sincerely,

Hydor USA, Inc.
 
That looks nice. What is amazing is how they make it look nice too. I never liked the bulky tunze magnet and yet they make it look really nice. It's gonna take one manufacturer to keep the price low and I think most are gonna keep it at the same price since people are paying for it. If it isn't controllable, then I think it won't force any of the big boys to lower prices.

I understand the higher prices of the other but once the pump has been in the market for awhile, initial costs should of been paid for and price can go down. I honestly do not see how many of the controllable pumps can even cost that much to produce.
