Powerheads for 160g

jbsengineer · 10/09/2017, 03:23 PM

I'd prefer to keep as much as possible going through an Apex controller. What powerheads (if money was no object) would be perfect to combine with the Apex? It will be a Red Sea 750 XXL (160g display).

I have the same tank. I am modeling mine after the BRS 160, check it out on YouTube. I will be using 3 Tunze nanostream powerheads to start, will probably increase to 4 eventually.

Thanks. I'm following your thread on your build. You are ahead of me, :-). Just ordered the tank yesterday!
