Hydor Koralia controllable powerheads..

[jasond]

Snooping around the JL site and came across these, has anyone tried them out yet? I was a little surprised at the cost. The powerheads themselves are not bad, but the website says they cannot be run without the controller, which is $340. Seems fairly pricey when the Reef Keeper Elite controller will be out anytime for around $550US.

IMO they are very pricey for what they offer and will have to bring the price way down if they want to compete...
Since the reefkeep elite is coming out and controllers out there that do way more for the price like the profliux (bad sp.), and rk elite they are priced way too high.

Hmmm... I wonder if the profilux controller will control these.

At these prices just stick with a tried and true Tunze multicontroller

Grand Total $903.70 CDN

Keep in mind the Tunze tops out with a higher flow rate over two pumps. That said, the Hydor is still the budget choice.

at only $100~150 difference between the koralias and tunze id rather get the tunze due to the well known customer service that they do. and also dont forget that the tunzes have a smaller footprint then that of the koralias, and more flow so i think that 100~150 difference pays itself off in the long run
