thegrandpoohbah Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just picked up a Koralia 1 in preparation for my upcoming reef tank. The flow rate is really good... until I put on the "flow concentrator nozzle" and the "fish screen". I assumed this would make the flow even stronger but it actually seems to reduce the flow. What gives? Can I assume that most of you do not use the flow concentrator nozzle? Link to comment
bagoegg Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have only ever used the screen cover. They make the flow more all around so it may be flowing at full power but since since its in all directions it feels like it lower. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i would assume the fish screen is the cause of the reduced flow. restricting water from entering the powerhead, and subsequently lowering the flow Link to comment
nano427 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 no screen or concentrator. and add one more K-1! Link to comment

And it doesn't look like enough of a screen to actually block that much water. http://www.hydor.it/en/products/show/27#tabelle The first picture on the Hydor website shows the nozzle. Link to comment
PBUEHH Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 both items add to reduce flow by blocking it... they made it very well (even though it is bulky) its safe to ditch both items. what fish are you going to be adding? Link to comment
thegrandpoohbah Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 The tank is still FW and will remain so until after the new year. this is what it currently looks like: Link to comment
