Default hydor coralia upgrade mod, flow blows you away

ok so I did a mod on my coralia 4 (put a sureflow impeller in) the flow now is stouning.

what was a nice pump for some flow became a tornado and blows water, I think at least 4x as much

I have to re configure the lay oute of some pumps so it dous not blast hings away

if you want more flow, but dont want to spend $$$, put a new impeller in and it will blast !!

it is the one from the maxi jet upgrade kit.

let me try later today if thy fit in the K3, I dont think it will.

there are some video's on youtube from others

in my tank 350 gal -- 6 feet long, I have the pump on one end of the tank about 8 inches down and on the other end I still se food pass by at a rate the coralia could only manage when food was les than 6 inches in front of it

I think I have one more K4 and will do the same, and have them going against the other, and than I have 4 more K3 that I will put in the middle (2 atached to a sea swirl)

Have you got a link to this mod kit? and is it just for the original K's? or would it work on an Evo?

when dealing whit the prop, you gust flip the impeller around as it is showing on the youtube video,

the white prop gust popsoff and turn it around, than you eliminate the posebilety that it spins backwards.

the flow thy guy is mentioning of 3000 g/h could shure be right, it is masive. and gust at the time I was considdering 2 tunze pumps, I think I think again -- it is not altering the curent, but the flow is there
