Looks like an old style bicycle horn with a new finish. Cool though.

According to a few on RC - they've hit US shores...

So who's going to have them first - and at what price in canada?

After a bunch of reading and debate between one of these and a Tunze Nano Stream 6045, I finally decided on a Hydor Koralia 4. Nobody is sure when the 6045 was gonna show up in our local stores, and the price point of the Koralia is very attractive.

So I ordered one today from Tropical Fish Outlet (US$44.99 + $8.99 shipping).

Has the same flow but at half the price of the Nano 6045. Supposed to be a bit larger, but more dispersed flow.

I'll be sure to post a brief review once I get it setup later this coming week.

there's already a mod tread on RC with the same concept as the Maxijet mods with the racing boat propeller to push 2-3x the normal rated gph
i'll post the tread when i find it again.....

[AndyL]

yeah, apparently the maxijet impeller slides right in and of course those maximod boys love to play with the props... Nothing that has to be done of course...

I was reading the "New Koralia Pumps" thread on RC and the majority love them.
According to the thread, They push similar amounts of water to the nano tunze but in a more dispersed manner. Nano was more concentrated and the koralia was wider therefore it did not shoot across the tank as much.

I will be looking for a Canadian distributor if not ordering from a U.S online place. Hopefully you dont get burned too much in the shipping.

They are supercool...I just saw them in action at the Global Pet Expo in Florida (where I am now).

If I could venture a guess, and it would be a fairly educated one, I would say that they will hit stores in 3-4 weeks in Canada

Nate:

Im sure if you buy a bunch, and bring them back, you'll have some early buyers.
Yours truly included.

C'mon nate - bring me back a couple of 4's Puhleeeeze! I'll bribe if I have to

FYI's for those thinking of shipping (2) from us sellers:
Drs Foster smith - 110$ for ground shipping to canada (fedex)
Marine Depot - 38.99$ UPS 3-4 day

Not that I've looked into it or anything...
