Whick powerhead for my tank
I have 125G reef tank 6ft long and need to know what powerheads I need to purchase for the tank. I was looking into the Koralia powerheads but which one? Unless there is another powerhead around the price range as the koralias that work really well. If I go with a Koralia which model?

you can go magnum 5 or 6. i would probably go with two of the magnum 5. also buy them off ebay. you can get the new pretty cheap.

I'm using two Koralia Evolution 1400s on my 125 gallon tank and I'm pretty happy with them.

I have two Koralia Evolution 1050's for my 75gallon... I'm looking for replacements because they are only 2 months old, look very clean... but are giving me grief. Almost every time I turn them off, I have to work to get them going again. They advertise them as working with a wavemaker and are supposed to be coming out with a wavemaker soon... but I wouldn't trust them on one!
A lot of people use them with luck, and as long as you don't turn them off, they stay running and create a lot of flow! But the fact that I keep having them fail to start up on their own after only 2 months makes me to where I can't recommend them for your main tank. Maybe for a quarantine or for secondary circulation in your display... but not for my main circulation. |
