got my koralias today...and now i have questions...

[gio28]

my 2 koralia 2's came today for my 36 bowfront. i like them and they seem to work ok. but i have a few questions:
-when you put your hand up to them are you barely supposed to feel the flow because it is meant to be widespread?
-how should i place them? right now they are on opposite ends at the same level right above the rockwork colliding currents with each other.
thanks for any help.

I put a couple Koralias in my 55g and had the same questions.
Regarding the flow, yes, that is how they are supposed to work. It should have come with a "cone" that snaps on the front, this will help direct the flow a little bit but its optional. I didn't realize how much flow I had in my tank until I put in some mushrooms and no matter where I put them they still have a nice back-n-forth sway.
As far as placement goes, good luck finding a difinitive answer on that. The general consensus is just to make sure you don't have any dead spots. One way to check is to throw in a couple peices of flake food and see how they flow around the tank.

cool thanks for they help. my main concern was that they were broke because i barely felt anything when i put my hand in front of them. as far as placement, i'll have to experiment a little.
