Powerheads for my 37 reef tank

iujj012 · 08/08/2014, 11:31 PM

Guys need some advice I currently have 2 koralia 1050s on it, is that too much flow?

Any advice guys.

Personally I would do 2 mp10s, but that's expensive, LOL. I find that the broad gentle flow of the vortechs lend themselves to the smaller tanks. The controllability is also a plus as well as the minimal I'm tank footprint, which is a huge plus in a smallish tank.

I agree with rovster. Even 1 mp10 with a smaller koralia would be nice.

Thanks for the replies! Yes, it really annoys me the size of the 1050s, I had them left over from my 75. I can't really afford a couple mp10s right now, are the jabeo powerheads any good? Much less expensive and similar footprint. I also thought about a couple of koralia nanos? Too many options lol

I had the wp40 in my 130 and like it a lot sold my big tank and went a 100/gal cube and order the new jebo rw4 and its a amazing little unit that would do well in you tank

I have an mp10 and a wp25 in my 30. The mp10 is WAY better. The wp25 is a tad too much, but since I'm bare bottom I can get away with it.

Would I just need one of the rw4's? Looks like a nice powerhead. What flow setting do you have yours on?
