![]() I have never used that one, but besides the Vortech's I use, I also have a 2 head Hydor/Koralia wave maker. This is the version that uses specific pumps with it.
I tried using standard Hydor pumps with other wave makers, and found that the pumps always clanked when going up and down. Not sure about this model made for it, but one thing to check out. Problem was that the powerheads were not made for speeding up or down. I think. If this model works, give it a try. Personally between the Vortech's or the Hydor, I prefer the Vortechs. More money, but nothing else in my opinion can create the currents or undertows like these.

![]() I read that knocking when stratup is common in the older koralias but the new evolutions and magnums have eliminated the problem.
I'd love vortech, really I would, but I don't have the necessary clearance for the dry side, unless I want to put the dry side on my viewing pane (which I don't). The tunzes look great too but the koralia's warranty is twice that of the tunzes and that's kind of a big deal for me. Not to mention the price difference. This hydor controller looks cool for the price tag, just wondering is anyone had an opinion on it ![]() |
