PCIALF · #1 10/07/2007, 04:06 PM

I just installed them and 1st review is I like them. Quiet, starts everytime nice flow. I will give more details after a few days of using them

I now have 2 Sieo 1100's for sale $55 for both

I HAVE 2 IN MY 180 and love them.my sea hare is able to move around the pump without getting sucked in wich is a plus.

I am thinking about getting 2 as well. Do you think 2 4's are to much for a 90 gal?

dirtyone · #4 10/07/2007, 06:02 PM

i think two 4's would be great for a 90. i have two 1's in my 30 breeder and they work great. only thing i found was they didnt start all the time on my JBJ wavemaker, so now i have them on all the time.

I have had two 4's on my 75 gal. since they came out months ago with no problems.

I have 2 in my 90 and thinking about adding 2 more. Flow drops off pretty quick.

all reviews welcome- especially long term results.
PCIALF- do you have yours on a timer/wavemaker?

No Wavemaker I was watching John's start every 40 seconds though and was impressed

ditto. I was watching it yesterday. It started up every time, but sometimes it started up with a hard chatter. I think he's had it up and running on that 40 second on/off interval for about a month now...

as I observed the chatter was if it started the wrong way it would right itself kewl design

dirtyone · #11 10/07/2007, 07:56 PM

mine chattered randomly, then it would freeze up. once it freezed up it would start after that, until physically moved. then it would work for some time and then the chattering and so on. maybe just my wavemaker not sure.

I just got a 4 for my tank last week and they move some water.
Its a very nice gentle "push" of water compared to a maxi-jets stream,I would recommend these to anyone,So far at least

I do like there is no real suction point I wonder how they would be around nemo's

downset · #14 10/07/2007, 08:30 PM

I have 2 juvenilles clowns that sleep about 3 inches away and havent been sucked in yet

redrider911 · #15 10/07/2007, 08:31 PM

Anyone local see these for sale at The Fish Place in Ton? I have a gift cert. for there!

PCIALF · #16 10/07/2007, 08:31 PM

what about a RBTA would it get sucked in?

I suppose it could but no more chance than any other power head and of course it would have to climb the glass and how ever unlikely it is,the strangest things can and will happen

tmz · #18 10/07/2007, 10:05 PM

I have 2 4s for use in my new 90g and I am considering using a Seio controller since I understand this is the only one they work on. Opinions?

RandyO · #19 10/08/2007, 12:10 AM

I've got 7 Koralia's running. So far so good. I think they are great pumps.

redrider911 · #20 10/08/2007, 05:51 AM

Randy, do you sell them at the shop?

angelo123 · #21 10/08/2007, 05:56 AM

I have 4 #4s in my 75.....flow... flooooww flloooooooww

korndogg091 · #22 10/08/2007, 06:24 AM

I added a 4 to my 120 and i love it. I want to add another one and get rid of my maxi jet. The only downfall i see in them is that they can be sorta bulky in a tank. But the design looks better then having a powerhead in there. you goota have something for flow.
