korilia mod

[Nano]

Hard to say, I know I've had a dud right out of the box, and 2 die within a few weeks of use, could be faulty or just the fact that they're korilias :P

But yes the flow is noticeably better. I also saw a video for the korilia 4 where the Maxijet impeller was used instead of the stock impeller and probably doubled the flow.

Haha yeah I just cleaned the crud out of mine and thought "i wonder if there's any mods for these"
This was the simplest one I found


You can also cut a few ribs out of the front cage as well to give a wide flow vs focused

This definetly works as I tried it. I put a post up about it a couple of years ago. Only problem that would happen is that it would go in reverse on start up. But after turning of and on a couple of times it would begin working properly.

Guess lots have tried this then. So far I'm happy with it, the polyps on my acros are all out dancing away, some of the frags are even moving, so I'll have to adjust the positions a bit as to not over power the corals.

I think the best part so far is how happy my wrasse is lol keeps swimming to the powerheads, then letting it blow him back lol. Ahhh to be a fish.
