Default I need a hand deciding
I am setting up my 230G tank, it is 6ft long. I can't decide on a power head,hopefully you guys can help :-) my options are:

1- 1xMP60
2- 1xtunze 6150 with controller. Or
3- 2x mp40.

So what you guys think I should go with. I want to have softies and LPS. Also if you can state the good and bad about your option will be great. Thanks.

Abe.

imo... pair of mp40 or pair of 6105. both will be at very similar price if you buy them new or used.
