Best Powerheads

[rickh]

What do you consider to be the best powerhead?? I have used Aquiclear 70s and the Maxi-jet 1200. The Aquiclear is a little more expensive but pumps more water. The Maxi-jet maybe a little better built. Thanks R

I have used the Maxi-jets and like them alot. They are the only ones that I have really used so can't say they are the best but I like them alot.

I too prefer the Maxijets. They have a great flow, so it appears that if it is reated at 295gph, it sure seems like it. I have had some that put out minimal flow that were rated high in the past. In addition, the MJ's are cheap enough.

Maxijet and Hagen powerheads are my preference.

maxi-jets are nice and dependable.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Tunze Turbelle streams yet. But ya I don't have them yet but that's my vote on good powerheads .

I have the older Hagen 802 (now the 70) and MaxiJets 1200's. I prefer the MaxiJets. The ouput remains high. They are easy to clean and maintain and they are smaller.

thanks for all the input. R

ihave never had a maxi fail and i have never had one returned. And i have sold over 300 of them. They are the best.

Awesome

I'm setting up a tank and need a couple PH...judging by the input in this thread I think I'll go for maxi-jet's. I have a 30 gal FW tank with marineland's penguin PH, I wanted the Maxi-jet's but my LFS does not carry the maxi-jet's only the penguin's.
