Received my Koralia pump yesterday from F&S. I'm not a mail order guy but they're the only ones who have it. I only have the #1 so it's size is not much bigger than the Seio 620 I had in there, maybe a 1/4 longer but less bulker around. The magnet mount works good on my Oceanic 30 which is 5/16" glass. Not overly tight but it works. The flow is great, the adjustment is AWESOME! Not only do I get flow front the front, the open cage design where you can really see the prop has water being sucked from all sides and distributed in a random, wide pattern. A xenia 5" away flows towards it, swaying. I went from a Seio 620 to a Koralia because the flow of the Seio was too much on my hammer, torch and frogspawn. They were not opening up fully even with the Seio cranked down at the collar. Now there is a gentle atlernating flow in the tank. This pump only puts out 400pgh but for a 30 gallon cube with LPS and softies it is fine. I heard the #3 & 4 are huge. The price point of these pumps are awesome at $40-60 mail order for 400-1200gph respectfully. In the LFS the price would probably be $50-70. When talking to B about them he said whoever can afford a Tunze will buy the Tunze. I agree. This is giving those without tons of $$$ another option other than Seio, mjmod or just a plain old powerhead. I hope area LFS start to carry them, they work great and I feel they'd be a good seller.
