Funny, because when I asked the Rio rep, he told me it would not handle the larger pumps. I don't use one, so I don't have the specs. good to know it works for those using them.

I have a single Koralia 4 and I am planning on getting a 2nd for my 120 gallon. If I'm going to have 2, I'd say that a wavemaker is needed, of course it is..
Do I remember correctly about hearing of a controller that brings the output to the powerheads down to 30%, rather than the standard 50% that the Seio's do? is that a new model out yet?
anyway, my single Koralia 4 has been terrific for about 3 months, and i want to put it on a wavemaker with the addition of a 2nd.
Suggestions?
thanks,

why would you want to put the Koralia on a wave maker? The flow is so gentle that I would think you would want the flow going all the time. I have found that the more flow the better.

here's my setup:
dual pumps in my sump, each with a SQWD on them, i forget the pumps but i know that combined, with the 5' vertical climb into the tank, i have the both totaling about 1600 gal per hour. so I have four nozzels, essentially, with two pairs alternating current returning into the tank.
in addition, I have a single Koralia now, and i'm looking into a 2nd. I wanted to alternate them.
No?
I like alternating current.

OK, just remember the Koralia can't be used with a wave maker that turns it off and on all the time. They rattle a lot durning startup. If you find a wave maker with soft start, that might work.

anyone have any links to the mods for koralia 4's?
My brand new Koralia 3 from Premium Aquatics came with two pieces that snap on the front of the pump. One is cylindrical and the other is a mesh to fit into the cylinder. It also came with a little yellow addendum to the instructions to show how to install it. But there was no text with it.
It looks like what it does is direct the stream of the pump to a tighter stream, rather than the diffuse stream that you normally get with the Koralia.
Is this a new piece? My Koralia 4 doesn't have it in the box.
I'm probably not going to use it because I like the wide stream, but it is nice to have the option.
