Power Heads??

[Cibo]

Whats a good powe head to get I was thinking of the Koralia Was not sure how strong they are I want somthing not to big Is the nano Koralia strong

I have a 40gal cube tank was thinking of 2 alternating on and off to make waves, I am not fixed on Koralia If some can recomend somthing else I realy dont want to spend 350 on power heads?

the koralia nano was good for my 10. not strong enough in my 20.

I use koralia nanos and maxijet 900s in my 36 bow. The korilia runs on the top in the opposite direction from my return, my 2 MJ900s are on a wave timer back and forth and are on opposite sides facing each other about midway down in the tank

I have two Korallia 4's opposite either side of my 175. They seems to move stuff around nicely. Lots of movement, no force to it. Nothing gets ripped up, or moved, but the water keeps flowing.

If you want them to act as a wave maker you need the more expensive version. I have the basic one, and a Tunze wavebox to provide the wave motion.

Perhaps a Rio Polario as an alternative? Not seen a review yet, but looks like it might work. Certainly cheaper than a Tunze anything.

I have tryed 2 diffrent power heads a Koralia3 It sent things in motion to strong then I tryed a maxijet 1200 still very srtong with the shape of my tank I was thinkind of trying 2 Koralia nanos one on each side of the tank how strong should the flow be with the Koralia3 I had to dive for the plug when I saw my Pipe fish getting sucked towards it!!

I don't think you'll be happy with the Koralia Nanos, they are weak for a 40g tank. One was fine in my 12g.

is this a 40 breeder or a cube? If a cube what are the tank dimensions (L, W & H)

18X24X20 the othere ones I try was sending things allover the sand was flying around!!!

I have a koralia 1 and koralia 2 in my 15gallon. I think you might be better off with the 1 rather then the nano. I had the nano and it wasn't what I was looking for. It gives a more natural flow rather then just blasting straight out (which you can put the attachment on if you want that)
