I would say go with the non-knockoff version - you know, the one that has some sort of production standards to it, rather than absolutely zero, like the two you linked (which are exactly the same product).

The difference is literally that one is made to a standard acceptable to Italians, while the other is made to a standard acceptable to Chinese manufacturing.

Also, the real one has a magnet + single suction cup, while the knockoff has just 3 suction cups (nasty mess when that eventually falls off with the pump running).

 

They are most likely the same product. They look the same to me. I don't trust the suction cups with that much flow being move though the pumps. And I think you will get what you pay for in this case. Very little usage time before they die.

What size tank do you have?

 

They're Koralia knockoffs, sold under the same brand "Best Choice Products", from the same eBay seller, for the same price, with pictures taken at different angles...if they're different products, I'll have a heart attack right now for ya.

 

The ebay ones are knock-offs. Go with the real thing.

 

I got these.

CoralVue High Seas High Output Propeller Driven Power Heads

Note: they don't look like that any more.

Most companies do rebrand stuff and make slight modifications, these powerheads have a titanium shaft(different then the generic rebranded) and come with very powerful magnets to hold them up. Koralia is a slightly higher build quality but they get the job done.

 

I have a 60 gallon

 

LOL, not now or ever for that matter.

Go with Koralias or sostoudt's suggestion. I think these will die on you real soon. Get a couple of Koralia 1050s.

 

From the looks they will produce a narrower flow than Koralias.

 

Ok thank you.. I guess ill have to save my money for some....
