Ya.. if you are needing something up in the Korallia 5 range I think you are better off looking elsewhere. Starting at Korlia 5 (6,7 &8), they are all labeled as Korallia Magnum and for good reason, they are frakking huge! For the same (or even smaller) footprint you could get something with much better flow like a Tunze 6100 series or Vortech. In fact, if you got one of those you might find that they can even replace two or three of your existing powerheads.

Ya kien, It is "frakking" large and I do agree that Vortech is the way to go!

Thanks Mike. I have to admit...I just can't have a tank without a Flame! The Bright red flash of color is brilliant! And she is always out infront!

WOW Carmen that is looking REALLY REALLY GREAT, I love the the way you have done the LR that is some talent you have there. The Bridge is a cool idea and the lighting, well what can I say about that lighting. Much crisper with the blue hue makes everything pop.
Ofcourse I will forgive you guys! It's all fun!
Thanks Greg for the compliments!
