What Kind of Powerhead should I buy?

[Eb0la11]

Hey guys,

so I'm getting close to buying a new deluxe powerhead or powerhead system. I am planning on spending like 400 bucks on something to increase my flow as its only probably like maybe 20x. I might sell my three koralia 4s for a new system, I havent decided yet.

What kind of system would you guys put in if you had the choice? Give me some options to research!

I guess I'll give a little more info. My tank is a 165G DT, reef tank. Lots of sps and softies and everything, really.

Its a 6 foot tank and Im looking for a complete setup for it. I have three korallia 4s right now and then a pump that returns about 1000 GPH through four return lines. So about 4600 GPH right now, though the powerheads def arent doing their 1200 rated GPH as they could use a bit of a cleaning.

I'd put in a wavebox. If your setup will allow it there is nothing like it.

100% MP40W, nothing else comes close to the functions that they put out. If I were you I would keep the 2 K4's for that little extra bit of flow but between the 3 you should be good for any type of coral.

i like tunze stuff myself and the 6045 being adjustable up to 1350gph or something like that and being under $100 its a winner in my books. i have the 6055's and love them. than again i do like the vortech stuff

Vortech or Tunze - toss a coin. Either way you'll be happy.
