I thought i'd go for it

Instead of buying the Koralia's i bought a Nanostream, though some people are having trouble with them. Bought it at the Fishsupply.

I will post my review once i receive the pump.

Post your experience with these pumps.

Thanks

The only problem I've had with mine is that it won't spin the correct way when it starts up. Other than that I really like mine a lot more than my Koralia.

BTW, there is a way to pump up your 6025 with some of the mods found on the link below. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan on getting a dremel to try it out.

Doesnt that defeat the whole purpose of the 2 year warranty?

If i have no problems with start up or anything like that i might try it in a few months but i want to see if it works first.

Everyone seems to be 50/50 on these pumps so i will see.

Oh yeah, Why wont it spin correctly?

I have the same problem with mine to. On start up it sometimes goes backwards but it does change the sand real quick

Other than that I love the flow it gives off. I have not tried the Koralias yet so can not compare.

Just a heads up with the impeller shafts on the nano's mine have failed twice and this it the second time I have sent in to be replaced. The tabs on the mounting bracket breat also. JMO. Won't buy again. I hope they have made some improvements

If you don't mod yours, they shouldn't have a problem with start-up. The problems related to start-ups, at least the ones I've heard are related to the modded ones.

i've never modded any of mine, and they've always had start up problems. most of the time they correct themselves......but every now and then it will just run backwards until i stick my hand in front of it.

i LOVE the design, but they gota do some better quality control and get some better quality parts for them....i'm on my 3rd pair now

If it starts backwards just unplug it and plug it back in, repeat if necessary. These things arent meant to start and stop a bunch. Get them going and leave them. I havent had any problems with my 6045 and I plan on picking up a 6025 as soon as they are in stock locally.
