hydor koralia evolution? better? compare

[ryangrieder]

hey i have 2 koralia 3's in my 72g tank. thinking about the new evolutions. they any better or just different looking? also which one is the same as koralia 3? the evo 750?

Smaller, higher flow rates, less energy, run more quietly. But most of all, they can be used with a timer.

I'm sure you can find the flow rates if you Google them.

I'm not too thrilled that the nano is now supersonic and too much flow for a 12 gallon at its new 425 gph.

I have a evo 1400 on my 72 and it's pretty good -- I might get one more fr the opposite side.

i think im going to go with two evo 1050's. i have 2 koralia 3's in there now. i want it pretty much the same, a little stronger is ok. also what kind of wave maker u have it hooked up to?

 

[chuckstyl5]

no wavemaker right now - it just runs constant ... soon it will be hooked up to a rkl though

I got one of the 425gph on my 14biocube it pushes a lot of water but it does not cause a storm or anything like that, very gentle flow

Do you have it on a controller?

I do not! by the way they are tiny!

I just got 2 Evo 1400s for my 75g and have them on a 15 second alternating timer.

I love the flow. They're smaller and less noticeable than my K4s were.

They do make an audible click when they switch back and forth, and I haven't figured out yet if that's my RKL or the actual powerheads.

Just picked up an Evo 425 to replace my Koralia 1. It's half the size of the 1, it's cheaper and rated at 25 gallons more per hour.

What controllers are u using for them

 

[ryangrieder]

yeah i just picked up two of the 1050 for my 72 bow. not sure which controller i should use yet seeing i dont have one. any opinions?

 

[2reefs]

I picked up 2 of the 1400 and used them with the red sea wavemaker and the JBJ timer and yes they make a clicking noise at start up. Other then the noise they are pretty good. Comparing them to the old K4 I think that the K4 is more powerfull but when I talked to Hydoe they said that the flow is different and this is why I perceived that the 4 is stronger. I guess what they said that the evo 1400 will push water further.

New design's most significant improvement is the one piece shaftless impellar. The nose screen is eliminated and the magnet mount has an additional piece to lessen the vibration noise although it makes the smaller design stick out just as much as the old ones.

I just got my mp40, I have it on my 65gallon reef. It is serious, the price was crazy high but the performance is unmatchable. I plan on upgrading to a 120gallon. If I turn it up to the max my tank look like a tsunami....

Yeah I made this thread just about a year ago...lol since then i got my vortech and much much happier with it.
