you don't like the nano streams GSMguy? These basically look like the same pump, different name.

i like the price tag on the hydors =) if they perform pretty good then I'm all for it.

if they're not up to snuff, then tunze it is =)

total for 2 koralia 4- 144 euros w/o s&h
looking at about €144 = $190.9584 + shiping and handling

that's pretty expensive given how much tfo is selling them for.

you can get the tunze nano streams for a bit less, and probably not spend so much on shipping either.

thanks for looking it up though!

I just recieved this email:


Hello,

The Koralia should hit US retail in February 2007.

The first to have it will be Drs. Foster & Smith.

The Koralia will work great on any controlled that will just slow the impeller down and speed it up. The Koralia is not recommended for stop/start wavemakers.

Sincerely,

Hydor USA, Inc.

I sent back an email asking if the motors are AC or DC.

Cheers,

Jim

I got to play with these in October at a trade show. The flow is not quite as wide as what the Tunze Nano Streams feel like. If I remember correctly I think the models that were at the show had more of a "swirl" prop rather than a standard "blade" prop on them. Pricing on them will be pretty attractive, and they have the nice suction cup feature if the magnet would ever get pulled away from the outside.

I think Jim has more info on that than I do at this time! The last I heard from our rep was late winter / early spring, but that was the first week of October.

Those are very nice prices.

I will probably get a Tunze nano stream and then one of these when they come out to compare the two.

I'm sure both will perform admirably.

Peace,
John

I don't understand what kind of controller will adjust their speed and not turn them completely off if the motor is AC. Can someone explain this to me. Thanks

Cool. But wouldn't that AC controller work on any AC pump?
Thanks,

Not sure exactly how it works but here is a blurb from a retailer. They only mention it working with certain models but the contoller looks like it just has two regular ac plug ins on the bottom...

For use with only Rio SEIO water pump models: 1100 - 1500 - 2600



Seio Electronic controller for Rio Seio Superflow pumps 1100 through 2600 models Automatic mode controls up to 2 pumps from 50% to 100% of output with a selectable 15 second to 30 minute time period. Two feed modes are available with either an 8 minute or 16 minute duration that shuts off both pumps. After the feed mode duration the pumps return to their pre set timer mode.

Ok I can answer most things TFO, as I've worked with them and actually just recieved a very nice shipment from them.

The shipment actually arrived 2 day earlier then I expected.

This product will hit all online suppliers at the same day so don't let "certain" people tell you they get them "first".

The projected shipment day is quoted by Hydor "Jan 2008". They do have pricing and TFO has been given the permission to "prefer order" which means they make a list of buyers for their distributor to send enough to cover for day one. Many call it "pre order".

Prices vary on size, TFO will quote you the prices on the various pumps if you click on the special order link and ask how much.

http://www.tropicalfishoutlet.com/Dr...ategory=Pumps.

If you guys have any specific questions I'd be happy to get them answered for you by TFO.
