xOverview
The Hydor Koralia Evolution Circulation & Wave Pump is designed for small reef and freshwater aquariums. It delivers a steady, directional current that helps distribute heat, nutrients, and oxygen more evenly. The refined housing, quiet operation, and easy mounting make it a practical upgrade for hobbyists seeking reliable, low-maintenance circulation.
Performance and Efficiency
With a flow rate up to 850 GPH and a power draw of only 5 watts, this pump blends strong performance with energy efficiency. It offers up to 20% more water movement than earlier Koralia models while using half the power. The shaft-less impeller reduces wear, contributing to smooth, long-lasting operation.
- New vibration-absorbing magnet and suction cup support stabilizes the unit in tanks up to 1/2" thick glass or acrylic.
- Sphere joint enables adjustable flow direction for targeted movement around rocks, corals, and open water.
- Smaller footprint than older models, with a cable protector to minimize cord wear during maintenance.
Versatility and Tank Compatibility
The Evolution is suitable for tanks from 50 to 100 gallons, in marine or freshwater setups. Its compact form fits tanks with diverse inhabitants, including urchins, puffers, triggers, and parrots, while still delivering robust movement.
- Can be used with Hydor Wavemaker for modular circulation control when paired with 12V controllable powerheads.
- Includes dependable mounting options that support secure placement in mixed environments.
Installation, Maintenance, and Tips
Mounting is straightforward thanks to the integrated magnet and suction cup system. The shaft-less impeller design simplifies cleaning and routine maintenance. Position the head to shape a natural current, then re-check flow after water changes or equipment adjustments.
Note: If you plan to use Hydor's Wavemaker, ensure you have Koralia 12V controllable Powerheads for proper integration.
