How quiet is Korallia powerhead?

dendro982 · 07/07/2007, 09:33 PM

Can anybody tell me from experience, is Korallia powerhead quiet or not, comparing to the same gph Maxi-Jets, Eheim or Ocean Runner (I have these). For 12g tank, in the bedroom, now using set on Mini-Jets 606, the quietest so far.
Had heard good things about Korallia, but being really quiet is a must.

I have 2 koralia #1's in my 40g breeder, and they're silent. I hear them start up, as the shaft hits the end & bounces back into place, but other than that I have to look at them to know if they're on. Excellent powerheads, IMO. I wish I had found them before I made two MJ mods for my 135g.

I have 2 of the 2's in my 65g. You cannot even hear them running. I'm pleased with them.

#4,

I didn't even know it was on until I looked at the water movement. Thats how quiet it is.

Yeah, they're pretty much silent other than the clanking from them starting up. 3 #4's in my tank and don't really notice anything. Then again, my pump is pretty loud and thats all you can hear from the tank

One of my Koralia 4's is completely silent, the other makes a pretty noticeable hum. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix it, or is that something i need to send in?
