 |  Hydor Koralia Help!!!!
Hello All, I have 4, Hydor Koralia #4 pumps in my 110 gallon reef tank. Each powerhead is attached to Red Sea Wavemaster Pro and each time one starts, it makes an annoying clicking sound from the impeller jumping up and down. Is this normal? Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? Thank you Game24_7

Thats Right Nemo not intended for use on a wave maker.. Most power heads where not either. The shear pin on the impellers would click and clack on start up. Whit this type of propeller set up shaft wobble is the issue.. No wave maker!
