    just worried that it would over stress the motor, i've heard things about you can slow intake but slowing output can cause issues, be it pumps or powerheads.

    it's time to do my 2-3month 50% WC on my 35g Planted FW Mated Angelfish Pair(female is a black veiled the male is a koi) So when I fill up my buckets I will play around with my Koralia 1050 and see what happens. As long as it doesn't make that friggin' noise I have a perfect spot in my Biocube for it. But TBH I don't think it's necessary at this point, I've already purchased the JBJ Oceanstream 2x500 w/ Wavemaker setup >.< Probably should've just picked up a MP10 and would've been done with it lol.
