I used 1 Koralia 2 in my 25g nano (plus HOB skimmer) and there was plenty of flow with no algae or cyano growth. I have three of them in my 90g that I set up this summer and so far so good. I got all three from a fellow canreefer for a really good price. I would love a vortech but just can't justify the price if what I have is already working well for me.

I have the tunze 6055's and I like the pulse setting but you don't need it. Look into the 6045's, they are flow adjustable up to 1190gph (i believe), and are under $100 each. I love the vortechs but there are other options out there that don't hurt the wallet as much

+1 on the 6055's they are an awesome powerhead for a smaller tank, I have one in my 27 Gal and they are great! They are actually around the $225 mark but still a good value. You can't beat the quality of Tunze products. I do have two of the MP40w ES PH's in my larger tank and I wouldn't give them up for anything.
