Koralia 4 pics

Koralia 4 pics

Here are some pics.





Sorry, but I can't post the big pics for the life of me. If anyone can do it or explain to me how, I would really appreciate it. I've tried everything but it won't!

Anyways, just trying to give you some scale on these things. Also, one thing I tried to demonstrate is the magnets staying power over 7/8" distance with the added cardboard for thickness (the magnet is actually clamping the cardboard pieces down and keeping them in place. It still holds pretty well and I wouldn't worry about it just randomly falling off of the tank, unless you have little children that like to pick things off your tank, I wouldn't worry about using it on that thickness.

Cheers,
John H.

awsome, got it get some I need to replace my MJ with mods

I ordered three of the Koralia 4 today to put on my 125 gal AGA tank. I am going to replace a closed loop powered by a DART. The DART is much louder than I would like and uses 160W. So I should be able to run these much cheaper and without the noise. The size is obviously a bit of an issue, but I think I can sneak them in the back, behind my rock work, where they won't be obvious at all.

I'll report back once I get them installed. I've also got a Kil-A-Watt meter, so I can report some actual electric usages... since it doesn't always match the specs too well in the real world.

Honestly, with these out... I don't know who in their right mind would buy any Seio below the Seio 1500 and even then, these pumps put out a wider stream than the Seios.

These are definitely the better product at a better price.

What are dimensions of K4 at widest (not incl. the magnet)? Resun 15000 is ~5"L and ~2..5"H, my mj mod 4.25"L x3"H

That'll give you the dimensions for all koralia. Um, they seem to be right for the koralia 4.

Cheers,

good prices, and sounds like they are giving tunze a run for their money, anyone know when the nanostream 6045's are coming out.. would like to see a side-by-side comparison between those and the koralia 4's..

 

[Kinetic]

I might pickup two tunze 6045's and two koralia 4's. I was going to do two tunze 6045 and two 6025, but maybe I should just try two koralias and write a review.

Problem is I have 1" thick acrylic walls, and the back wall is 1.25", so I need some rare earth magnets to increase the mount strength.

Did anyone go for this one yet?

Still not a bad deal for 4000gal/controller@30watt, yes it is a little big, but you can place it on the rocks and easily block it from view.

Did anyone notice that the 4s say 8w on the box but 12w on the pump?

 

[::PixelFish::]

For a 75 gallon can I get away with two 3's or do I have to go for the koralia 4's? The 4's seem huge.

 

[Fishbulb2]

Does anyone have the koralias on a seio ac controller? That would be a very cool review.

You could probably get away with the 3's but the 4's are only 1/4" longer.....

I noticed that....I replaced to Aquaclear 70's rated at 20W with two 4's ....My heat dropped by 3 degrees....

 

[Beenalongtime79]

Um... these koralias have already been measured wattage wise. They actually run at 12 W. Kroe on RC already measured them.

Cheers,

I'm kinda disapointed in the size of these. I was thinking about trying one on my 37 but they are way too long.

 

[Beenalongtime79]

The smallest koralia (the #1) is just a little bigger than a nanostream and flows just a bit less.

 

[Andrew]

Compare it to the 6045. The Hydor pump is also larger.

 

[brad23]

The 4 is around the size of a seio 820 - the large motor area of the 820

after looking at the review of the hydor, I think this http://www.oceanflo.com/ will be better.
