Koralia powerheads

[DaveMorris]

I saw that there was just a group buy on Koralia powerheads so I hate to do this, but they are coming out with a whole new setup. I saw them in action at the Pet Expo today. They look the same, but they run on 28volts and Hydor has a Tunze-like controller for them. You can adjust the timing, combination of pumps, power of the pumps, etc. They have a crest mode and tidal mode. The Wavemaker2 as they call it is supposed to retail at $250 and the power heads will be $20 - $40 each. Much cheaper than Tunzes. They do not say anything about them on their website, but they were selling them at the show for fish stores. I would expect that they will be available very soon. They looked like they worked well. We'll have to see.

Gotta get me some!

[DaveMorris]

Are you sure that it is the low voltage Koralia heads and the low voltage controller? The impression that I got was that they are not out yet. They also aren't on any of the mail order sites that I checked.

Excellent news Dave! I'm very curious about the controller. I suspect these will be a big hit.

[kjsreef]

Great news Dave, I can't wait to get my hands on these.

[kjsreef]

Dave,

If you go back can you get a picture of the controller or any other information, does it have a night mode? It sounds like it alternates the pumps with the tidal mode?

[DaveMorris]

It does have a nite mode. I'll try to swing by again and see if I can pry some literature out of the guy's hands. Since I am not a store owner, I am not even supposed to be in there.

[kjsreef]

Be stealthy......hell i wish I could give you some money to buy a set and be the first in SD to try these....as you can tell, I'm super excited....

[kjsreef]

So I found a link on another site which has pictures and a great description....
