I've had three of the nanostreams, and they all ended up breaking on me! Having said that, when they *were* working, they worked well and I liked them. Very inobtrusive.

I have two Koralias now, and I'm quite pleased. I've had no problems so far. They are a bit bulkier, but that's it.

I'm pretty sure the Vortech's flow rates can be controlled....so I don't think it would have to be too much flow. But for the price you'd pay, I'm not sure it would be worth it to ramp it all the way down and just leave it that way.

I also have 3 Tunze nano streams and all are being held together with supper glue and zap straps. I wouldnt recomend them to anyone. But they do put out the flow.

I have 2 of the korilia 4's and they work real good but the down side to them is the magnet is rather weak.

Third option now is a Maxi Jet 1200. By far the best out of the three if you get the mod from J&L (rated at 1600 gph) or the mod that Chen brought in that puts out 2500gph. I have both and the 2500 is the best flow I have ever gotten from these small type power heads. I have Tunze 6101's and this 2500 is real close to those in power. This is a $25 mod to a MJ...less money and a lot more flow than the nano streams or the hydors.
