Sorry.. The Maxi jet power heads have an upgrade package called Eco something. You can use the upgraded propellers for the Koralia 4s to increase the flow from 1200GPH to somewhere around 1600 - 1800 GPH

Hair Algae grows do to your tank having too much nutrients. It's a better idea to figure out the problem rather try to fix the effects of the problem. Your nutrients are high because of a multiple of things. 1.) Over feeding 2.) To TDS high in water change water 3.) Skimmer is too small for bio...

I have 2 Koralia 4's in my 100 gal Reef. They have been upgraded with Maxi Eco, so they are about 1600 - 1800GPH. They have done a good job, and I have no complaints at all.

I have had one in my tank sense the biggining. He is not bad at all. He sits above his rock, and doesn't mess with anybody. Unless they go near his rock. I think the rest of the tank gives him respect sense he has been in there longer then everybody else..

"They do not eat "algae," or detritus nor are they part of a clean up crew. They will not help keep a sand bed clean. They rely on healthy mature LR in a large tank. For a blue linckia, I honestly would not recommend any less than a 100g with 150lbs of LR minimum." If they don't eat Algae, or...
