budget power head

I currently run 2 hydor 4s and 2 hydor 3s. I would like to change them out.Thinking of either getting 2 tunze 6045s and 2 6065. Or I could get 1 mp40.


Anyone opinioons on thses pumps, how are on restarting, can they take electrical hick ups?

What size tank is this for?

If you go the Tunze route, go for the 6025. There is a simple mod that will give you the flow of the 6045. All of them are great pumps. You could look at 2 MP10s or MP20s also.

What are electrical hiccups?

we live out in the country where short outages are usual. Sometimes quick flickers to longer lasting outtages. Usally short in duration. The tank is 300 gallons. I have no issues with current currently but am upgrading due to quality issues with the hydors.
