Hydor 4 with strange flow pattern

[Herefishyfishy]

Bought on of these Hydor Koralia and really like the included swivel magnet mount. What I can't figure out though, in lieu of a flow directly out from the front as all other powerheads do, it has 2 streams out the sides in a 45 degree forward direction. Is the propeller on backwards? Are they adjustable? Any ideas?

i bought one about a week ago and it is one wide flow, i dont think they are adjustable, you might go back to the lfs and ask

Thanks Corey, turns out that is intended the pattern: 3:00 and 9:00 direction flow. Works fine, I enjoy it a lot. Great value.

There are some people who have gone to local hobby stores and bought a different propeller and swapped it out with the original to create a flow more like Tunze Stream.

Might be an option for you if you dont like the way it is now.

I got 2 Koralia #2 and I noticed the same thing but I like how the flow is distributed.
