I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these yet?

Lots of water movement, compact size, and EXTREMELY low Wattage use.

Unblievabley low..

It pushes some water but the magnet mount sucks.

Tunze FTW!

I have a spare 6025 modded that IMO spanks the magnum I seen....and the magnet mount could probably pull a car.

The magnent sucks on the regular Koralia's too.

The Tunze's and these are the same size or bigger?

The Tunze nanostream takes up  much less room in the tank and looks a lot more stout.

The pump body sits a lot closer to the magnet and has a broader range of positioning.

Whats the flowrate on the Tunze NANO?

You have the K4 already.

Use the smaller prop from the sureflo kit in it. If you don't have it then by it along with a mj1200 and end up with two super pumps!

I have three of the MJ1200's already modified with the large props.

I got 2 of the K4's but after what all was posted, about motor burnouts on the K4 with the smaller Mod props, I hesitated and did not try it.

The 6025 is rated at like 600 I think but with a simple mod that does not effect the warranty per Tunze USA rep and easily pushes it past 1200gph!

I know it ripples the 6' tank a he11 lot more then the 2262 does.

I have a few friends doing it.... haven't heard of any failures yet.

It would be really awesome to see demo of the MAgnum 8

Re: Koralia Turbo Pumps MAGNUM - Anyone tried one? EK?

Delock got one.

Re: Koralia Turbo Pumps MAGNUM - Anyone tried one? EK?

A demo or he purchased the pump?

[eklikewhoa]

Re: Koralia Turbo Pumps MAGNUM - Anyone tried one? EK?

He got one in his tank.

It's a beast no doubt but too many negatives IMO and cost much more then the Tunze nano.

I got the cheapest nano and it puts out a lot more then advertised.
