Wavemaker and Koralia

[yagerboy]

I recently purchased 3 Koralia 4 powerheads and planned on using them with the Red Sea Wavemaker. I have since been told that the Koralias do not work well with wavemakers (sometimes breaking within a week). It was sugggested to use the more expensive Tunze or easily replaceable cheapies.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Should I return the wavemaker and keep the koralias or change powerheads?

 

TIA for any assistance.

Supposedly, Hydor has been getting ready to release a wavemaker for the Koralia's for about the past year. I think the main issue with the wavemakers and the koralia's is the possibility of starting the motor up backwards? IMHO the Koralia's are great for a nice low velocity wide dispersion of flow.

The Tunze Nano Streams are great.......and they are controllable. Just remember, you get what you pay for.
