When I did research on the powerhead I thought Hydor Koralia was the most popular, until I looked it up on this forum - all I saw was Jebao, Vortechs,... So Hydor is not good at all? I'm curious.

I had two and both of them developed shorts and dumped voltage into my tanks. It was maybe ~16v. When the wave maker would kick the powerheads on and off everyone got a little jolt.
