Koralia Magnum 8

rrasco · 02/10/2012, 10:14 AM

I am debating putting 2 Koralia Magnum 8 powerheads in my 210 for flow. I have done some searching for reviews and these seem to be adequate powerheads, albeit a bit large in size, that is something I can live with in a 210.

I have 2 questions: 1) I want to get some more opinions on these powerheads in general, and 2) what do you think about running 2 of these in a 210? Too much flow? Not enough? Should I get a 6s or 7s instead? Mix and match?

As it stands now, the plan is to get 2 8s, one for each corner. I also have a reeflo dart for a return pump, so the flow in this tank should be pretty good. Opinions, please share them.

I would do the 8's and use two, just as you planned.

Two 8's should be plenty of flow.

Mine have been running for 4 years beside a tunze 6205 worth 520$ The 8 has the same flow with half the watts. Best bang for the buck powerhead around tunze or Vortec.
