Does your Korilia 4 make a racket?

I have a couple of the 4s and same thing when I first started using them. One was noisy... one was quiet. It took a while, but the one did eventually break in and quiet down.
are they good water movers for the money? I cant drop money on tunzes right now. I had good luck with seios before...

I have two 4's and the only time I had noise is when one needed cleaning. Check the little black plastic boot under the impeller as well. If that is missing or on the wrong side, it could cause noise.

IMO, bang for the buck... still can't beat modded Maxijets.
everyone's got one laying around somewhere... $15 for the prop and BANG! you're moving 1200 GPH out of an MJ900.
modded MJ1200s supposedly move 2000GPH with the new sureflo mod.
I love my Koralias! I have two nanos in my Seahorse tank. They provided plenty of flow which seahorses do need without blasting the poor things against the glass. My gorgs (even my difficult ones) really benefit from the full, but not direct flow.
I have noticed that one of mine does need constant cleaning though. The minute it starts to get growth on it it seizes. They have only gotten better with the more generations Hydor makes.

Just installed two 4's in my tank two weeks ago and they are working like a champ and quietly too. I agree, something must not be put together or seated just right. They shouldn't really make much noice at all.
As far as if they are good water movers for the money.....go ask my Canary Blenny as he shoots half way across the tank when he plays in one of the current streams.

well i belive the karolia 4 outputs 1200gph so i multiply that by (number of power heads) then divide that by how many gallons the tank is.
