Koralia knockOffs

[Boret]

Have you guys seen these?: eBay

 

$31.99 Shipped

 

$38.94 Shipped

 

The eBay seller advertise them as made by Sunsun, the maker of Hydor Koralia.

I am happy with my tunzes but with the magnets these seem pretty good deals.

Anyone has any experience with this eBay vendor (proquarium)?

This is the vendor's eBay store.

 

He even sell this light fixture:

 

 

For $259.99 Shipped -- Light bulbs included.

Now, lights I am skeptical of knock offs (poor reflectors, crappy bulbs, fire hazard) but for flow in a sump or a small tank the powerheads might work.

They have amazing reviews on reef central, and many are claiming that they are better than koralia's, not to mention cheaper.

I've often wondered about the knockoffs also. The problem with the one above is that it is too much flow for me. I would need a smaller knockoff.

 

 

BTW, glad to see you're back, Sam.

I am not even in the market for any of those, I just wanted to find out the different opinions. Plus I am bored, not much work lately (August is dead work wise) so I spend 20% of my work day dealing with a couple of emails and 80% on the forums. At this rate ill hit the 1000 posts mark in no time!

I don't know man... yours is 4 cents more expensive!!! LOL

I'll bet we could get cheap shipping with fishnreef...

 

This is the best koralia price I found. But unless you're buying several, like I did - the shipping eats you up.

FWIW, I use Coralvue 400w 14k mh bulbs and have been satisfied with their performance and price. They only cost me $33 each.

I don't have a PAR meter, but all the corals react to the light just like any other manufacturer. 1/2 the price too.

i got 2-800gph, and the twin 3600gph one. the are extremely quiet, and works great with a wave maker, but i dont think they produce the advertised gph. but for the money, i'm happy with it.
