yeah, I got it... thanks... those waves are hyperimpressive! To get two of those things and run them like that would be very, very nice.

It would be cheaper than buying a Tunze and a wavebox.

Looks awesome!

Cheers,
John

I think the voltage/frequency problem would be with the controller, not the pump. You can convert the DC to the pump, but is the controller compatible with the 60 Hz AC in the US. Either way, I'd have to think that they will eventually come out with a US model.

Hrm... so it looks like these are not going to be super small... the koralia 2 looks about the same size as a nano-stream. Is the koralia 4 much bigger? Anyone have dimensions on the 4?

 

[lotsofsps]

yup, looks like he hydor pump will be bigger than the tunze nano stream. looks like a few of us have seen these things now. I would like to get my hands on one but not likely though. dont reall need a large pump like a seio again. but thumbs up for a new product design

 

[kroe]

lotsofsps: have you seen any numbers to back up your "yup"? Do we know that the koralia 4 is bigger than a koralia 2 and if so how much bigger?

If the koralia 4 is the same size or just barely bigger than the koralia 2 I am not counting it out... if it is waaaaaay bigger than I am getting some nano-streams.

 

[lotsofsps]

i will try to go take another look at them, maybe bring my camera with me. but like everything, as the pump gph increases, so does its size.

maybe try to snap a short vid of it working too.

The higher flow nano-streams don't grow... neither do higher flow maxi-jets. The koralia may grow with the bigger models, but I hope not.

Actually, Koralia 1 is the one in picture that he compares to Nano
stream, about same size as nano imo.
.".the smaller one is K1 and also the one comparing with Tunze nano is also K1"

quangtam7 I heard you did a mod for the maxi without using the stopper. Can you please post pix or instruction ? thanks

 

[dhnguyen]

No there is a stopper but the stopper Quangtam7 made is smaller and further down in the magnet hence you can't see it.

DHnguyen, so it still make a clicking noise if one use it with a wave maker .... btw, we have the same last name

Ok, I emailed Hydor USA for dimensions and got nowhere... so I tried Hydor Italy. They sent me a technical spec for the housings... I can't post it because it has all kinds of confidentiality wording on it, but here are the dimensions. Measurements are from the front of the shroud to the back of the shroud - the magnet mount is not included. The magnet mount is the same size on all of the koralias.

Koralia 1: 2.5" around, 3.1" long.
Koralia 2/3: 2.9" around, 3.9" long.
Koralia 4: 3.3" around, 4.3" long.

While they do grow as they go up in size, you can see from the numbers that they don't grow by much.

For reference a nano-stream is 2.7" diameter not including the nozzle.

Thanks for finding the dimensions kroe! That's not too bad for the Koralia4. I'm planning to replace two SEIO 620s with those, shouldn't be much more distracting than those I hope.

There will always be some start up noise because of the stopper but if you use a softer material for the stopper, the noise will be minimal and barely audible.

I have used some rubber bolts as stoppers with great success.

Ok good idea, I'll give that a try. I am currently trying to build a wavebox using the maximod .... its working so far, but the reliability issue might still be a problem. Now all I need is pulsing timer ... maybe I'll start will the 555 timer

 

[Snarkys]

I'm excited to see this thing , wish they were available ....

 

[gasman059]
