Got a budget?
Want controllability?
Want a gyre type powerhead?

Tunze/ecotech/jebao/hydor? lots of choices depending on what you want..
Tunze is expensive but VERY reliable..
ecotech also expensive and quite reliable..
jebao cheap and not so reliable but not bad at all for many..
hydor.. low cost.. not controllable for the most part.. reliable enough..

If people actually used search functions then there would never be a new post in any message board...
There is NOTHING that hasn't already been discussed and recorded to the internet..

Most people (99% IMO) just cannot learn on their own given all the information thats already out there..
I'm glad to be a 1%er
