powerheads for a 60g cube

Hi everyone, Getting back in the hobby after being away for a while. I have a 60g cube that i'm setting up. I need help deciding what powerheads i should get. Money is tight so looking for something affordable. What would you use in a 24'' cube ? Thanks

Can't t go wrong with the MP10 but if budget is a consideration the Nero 3 are a good option.

Not sure what your budget is, but I run a pair of used MP40s in my 60g cube. They're not cheap, but they're not terrible when they're used. MP10s will get you there too, but you have to run them harder than the 40s.

Jebao powerheads get solid reviews for the price. I've never used them, but I'd definitely consider buying them if I couldn't swing some used Vortechs.
