Prop Pump Mania

koralia 4 and two moded mj1200

 

I use 6 K4's and 6 Coralvue High Seas. I highly recommend the K4's over the High Seas.

 

Just got a K-nano a few days ago. Way better than the jet stream from a power head!

 

I had 2 of the hydor evolutions in my old tank (new one has closed loop) they were on a 30 sec wavemaker rotation and even then they made no noise at all.

 

what kind of wave maker?

 

i have some Koralia knock offs one single and one twin in each 55 in my duel tank setup.

 

please forgive my ignorance, and maybe I'm just getting tripped up on the verbiage... but what's the difference b/w a prop pump and a powerhead?

 

a reef keeper elite. basically it just cuts/restores the power to them to turn them off/on.

 

Koralia Nano on my BC29. Awesome little guy for $25 but considering an MP10 Overall I prefer props over powerheads for size and packaging. I want as little artificial aesthetic influence in my tank as possible.

 

impeller versus propeller water motion... external propellers put out greater range of wave versus a powerhead which has an impeller. the water is sucked in through an inlet and shot out through the outlet by the impeller and this is a 'powerhead'.
