My experience with the Koralia pump has been stellar. I bought a Model #3 just to see what the hype was about. It has since replaced my Seio 820 in my display tank. After a few weeks of use without issue, I decided to order a Model #4 to replace my Seio 1500.
Like any in-tank powerhead, there's always a chance a fish could get caught up on the intake. With that said, I believe the Hydor's design is less dangerous (i.e. more open) than the Seios.
My only hope is that the Model #4 works with a Seio controller
The Model #3 sucked in water, whenever the controller reduced speed
If your decision is between Hydor & Seio, the clearcut choice is Koralia.
