Hi what powerheads are good out there how many needed for a 150 gallon tank. 6 feet long tank wide or deep dimension, I know tall tank no good cause hard to reach to clean I had a 35 gallon hexagon tank so tall I needed a step stole to reach down inside to clean a pain. But anywas I want verygood equipment know out there in the market my plan is to setup once nut right any advice suggestions comments please feel free to thank you
 
I use koralia hydors...if it was me I'd use at a minimum of 6 750s or better
 
I would probably put 4 Koralia Evo 1400's in there, or look into the Vortech MP40..
 
Thank you everyone I would usr all you suggestions with my planning on setup.
 
Koralia makes good powerheads. You want 30 to 50 times movement for volume. So 150 gallons would need 4500-7500 gph movement. I have a 90 gallon tank with 2 koralia 750's, 2 bio wheel 280 filters, and a skimmer that moves 650. So I'm moving right about 2700 which is the lower end. Dang...I guess I should add another 500 to it. Lol
 
Thumbs up on the Koralia Evo 1400's and the EcoTech Vortech MP40. I've got a 120 with the MP40. I'll most likely add an MP10 or two on the back of the tank for more flow. But, I won't lie, the MP40s will leave a dent in your wallet.
