Koralia Nano performance?

StrategicReef · 01/26/2010, 09:51 PM

I have a dead spot somewhere near the overflow at the bottom,
I am thinking of getting a K. nano. Does it work on 1/2" glass.
Also how is the performance and noise. I am looking for that little push but instead of a maxijet, I don't like MJ because the nozzle is too concentrated flow.

the koralias are silent. the nano is pretty wimpy though you might just get the k1 for the added flow in your tank. not sure about the magnet

is the K1 much bigger?

It's 160 More gph than the 240 gph nano. I have it on 1/2 Glass and it does all right. There a suction cup 2 so it holds pretty well. Doesn't move a whole lot of water though.

I looked it looks like it is about 2" longer, I am not looking at a whole lot of flow just a gentle push, already have 2 tunzes handling that.

Not sure how big your tank is but in my 29 Biocube the nano is great. I modded it by cutting some of the guards off and it seems to move more water. Not as powerful as the K1 but an improvement from stock.

I have the nanos, and also cut off some of the front guards and they move plenty of water for what you are looking to do.

I put a nano in my 10 gallon for 2 perc clowns. It barely moves the water in that tank if that gives you any ideas of performance. They are tiny small and just barely perfect for a 10 gallon tank and even then, a k1 would probably be better.

I use 2 in my forty breeder and have no issues. the mod helps, but my sps is doing just fine.

I have a nano, pretty worthless imo. I have it in a 29 gal and i can barely feel it moving water with my hand right in front of it. I would get a K1 or K2
