Good buy!
| Installation and Operation |
Koralia power heads are very simple to install. Out of box any one could assemble this product in a couple minutes without referring to instructions. Very easy to install, just stick it inside your tank at desired spot and place magnetic suction cup on outside tank wall. Then use outside magnet to move pump to the desired area. This pump seems to collect some algae and detritus on the base, take it out and rinse off every once in a while.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Pump has a nice flow, great for smaller systems. In larger systems, or if you need higher flow, spend the money and upgrade to a 3 or 4. Or just buy 2 Koralia 1's. You can use a directional attachment to direct flow a little more, sort of like a high pressure hose attachment. I prefer to leave the attachment off as it provides a better, wider current without.
|
| Value for money |
For the money, you can't beat it! Great product and provides adequate water movement for $20-30.
|
| Customer Support |
I have not had any issues or dealings with customer service.
|
| Liked about it |
Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. Can't say more. I also really like the magnetic suction cup that allows you to move around the unit inside your tank without sticking your hands in the tank.
|
| Didn't like |
The cover to the fan does not attach too securly. If you are changing the angle to the power head, often this little cover falls off. Annoying, nothing more. Also, the suction cup is a little too strong. Sometimes to move the unit you have to first stick your hand in the tank and break the suction, then use magnet to move the unit.

Thoungs on Koralia 1
| Installation and Operation |
Highly simple instructions on the install.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Delivers great flow. I clean mine form time to time w/ a tooth brush. Due to detris ,and some algae growth is the reason that I clean it via toothbrush.

Very satisfied, works great in tandom with Koralia
| Installation and Operation |
This was very easy to install, just a magnet that attaches to the back. I have not had any problems with the one that I have, but I will say that the Koralia nano seems to have a higher flow rate for some reason.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
The Koralia 1 seems to have a lower flow rate than the nano.
|
| Liked about it |
Easy installation, very effective at moving water around, quiet!
|
| Didn't like |
I noticed that the nano almost has a better flow rate for some reason.

Good little powerhead for the price
| General |
Overall, a great powerhead for the price! |
| Liked about it |
I love the magnet/suction cup design - it's a relief to have a powerhead that stays where it should. Koralias use a pretty small amount of electricity, which makes them inexpensive to buy and to run.
|
| Didn't like |
The little guard that snaps onto the end (to prevent curious fishies from swimming in, I suppose) doesn't secure very well. I often knock it off while I'm working in the tank.

Hydor K1 Power Head
| General |
All together a great power head. It is amazingly easy to set up and get going. I truly recommend the K series of power heads. |
| Liked about it |
Wide flow pattern, low power consumption and the ability to direct the flow is awesome. Oh and the price is great for comparable power heads
|
| Didn't like |
The chatter of the prop when the pump is turned on is kinda loud. It is also a little difficult to put back together once you take it apart to clean.
