    I really do like mine alot. especially since they are controllable. Giving my tank a different current every five minutes is a big plus.

    Big improvement over the original koralias.

    I think the 1050 and 1400 are the same size..... you would think it would be smaller.

    the 1400 in my tank were moving my substrate depending when I had them. They werent even pointing down and blowing the substrate. they do have power.

    Ive been running the 750 in my 46g along side my K3. I have noticed how much smoother and nicer the flow is. and how much power that little beast puts out!

    Anyone looking at these. I really suggest they are worth the buy! Good write up once again Tatted!

    ill probably place mine as high up on the tank as possible i have my mp20 on full force right now and thats at the top of the tank so once i get the 1050 ill probably dial it down a tad so i dont have a bunch of sand flying around

    I can't tell you how much I hate this type of powerhead. I have three of the old style and they look so bad in the tank. Wires and the size of them in the tank look like crap. I can't wait to have my new tank done to eliminate these things and use one big pump plumbed to multiple loc line pipes to direct flow.

    I have a 210 gal All Glass 72Lx24Dx29H and have 2 Koreila 2's on the back wall and 2 Koreila 4's on the sides and I want to get new powerheads and get the right flow. I think the set up I have is wrong and possibly overkill or not enough. I have a Mag 1200 in the sump with dual returns.
