What I did then was to put the koralia on a power center and have it adjusted to 15 min on, 15 min off, from 10:00 and off at 21:00, so the live stock would have a break every now and then....
Now, my real question, is the power head going to last ? or I am just asking for trouble by doing this? I am pretty sure they weren't built to be used like that....  Any ideas? |
Korilias won't stand up to frequent on off, if they cycle on off enough I find they'll start spinning backwards, dc pumps are the way to go for that IMO
(Tunze, ecotech, wp series)
Lots of flow isn't really a bad thing either
I was running an mp10 on a 18x18 cube and felt I needed more so I added in 2 korilia nanos ontop of it
