Re: New Nano powerhead!

These things are freaking awesome!!!!!

The flow looks to a be a bit more powerful then the Nano Koralia and the flow pattern is not to compressed.

Actual size is about the size of the Nano Magnet algae scraper.

Power supply is external and the powerhead itself is running on DC voltage so IMO safer! I have one in a 20g long right now and it's rippling the crap out of the water surface and moving a bit of sand at the bottom towards the middle. I have the powerhead on the far left pointed towards the middle of the front glass.

Just threw in some sinking pellets and it's circulating the pellets throughout the tank!

BEST $5 Powerhead I have ever bought! think this is the only powerhead I ever paid less then $10 for.

Slight problem...3 of them didn't come with powersupplies.....pkg was torn so it either dropped out somewhere or they were stolen but I think they probably just dropped out.

Comparison to the Tunze mini/nano knockoff(same size as the Tunze but different name)

Ek,

Whats your impression after using this for a week.

I am thinking about ordering a few this week. If anyone wants to order some the shipping price is good upto 20 of them.

Re: New Nano powerhead!

I'd still be interested in getting a couple for now.

Re: New Nano powerhead!

Well I used the ones I got in complete.....still have a couple that are missing power supplies which were suppose to be for CF and Cberry.

I love them! Super small, a lot less heat! I used two to replace 2x mj1200's and its awesome! Does almost the same in flow but does not create the heat the MJ's were putting out.....in my 135g I noticed a 1-2deg drop.

I will say that its not for the faint of heart.....there's a lot of flow coming out of these even with the gate valve closed!

I have 2 in the 135g, one in the 125g where I noticed an unwanted deadspot and one in the 20g long for addes surface agitation. In the 20g long I have the valve closed all the way and and positioned so the the flow travels across the water surface and it will still blow sand and shells around on the other end.

Re: New Nano powerhead!

so would you say the quality of them is good or not good?

I might want some too!

Re: New Nano powerhead!

They are a steal for the price!

Re: New Nano powerhead!

.....still have a couple that are missing power supplies

Are they replacing the power supplies on the ones that came without?  I just ordered 10 today and want to make sure if I get a jacked up order, they'll fix it.

Re: New Nano powerhead!

ARe they jacked up on dealing with reapirs in all, or will they make it right?

EK, how long has yours been without a power supply (motor)???

[imagirlgeek]

Re: New Nano powerhead!

I just want to know if I get an incomplete order that I won't be SOL.  Because even though they are a GREAT price, I don't want to be stuck with something I can't use...ya know?
