bananahands Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Good luck with your new setup. I'm just setting up a solana as well. Oh, and I'm pretty sure the standard Koralia's are not controllable. The new Koralia Evolutions are but not the older models. Good luck, Khris Link to comment

The new Koralia Evolutions are but not the older models. Good luck, Khris they are to some extent, but they will def. not last. They are really bad about turning on and off... Good luck with the setup! Link to comment
csal1-175 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks for the feedback guys ,the Koralia`s are def. short term left overs from the Biocube.. Link to comment
thewire Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 You lucky! Does those Solana come with cover top? Link to comment
csal1-175 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 You lucky! Does those Solana come with cover top? I guess if you buy them new they do? But like I said this one was stripped and modded a bit..So i`ll be looking for an ATO cause the small top off bottles don`t look like they will cut it.. Link to comment
dmarkham Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yes the bottles are junk. Great start. I have never used the glass top. Most of the Solana owners are topless also. The glass top causes heat issues. Link to comment

cota472 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i run mine topless, but i am in the process of building a custom trim kit similar to what Current sells but instead of using the glass i am using clear mesh screens i made. Link to comment
dmarkham Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Which ATO are you running and would you recommend it? I have not put one on yet. It is in the very near future. Link to comment
