If they are good which size do I need for my tank! Again thanks for all the guidance and help!

Best prices I have found on powerheads are on ebay. Figure out which ones you want and look on ebay.

Sounds like a plan! just gotta figure out what brand lol

I have been very happy with the Koralia 550's that I have. You would probably want the higher rated ones though.

 

[mr_X]

Hydor Koralia, Seio Prop Pumps, Aqueon are all decent IME. Vortechs are the best, but crazy expensive.

What rated ones should I do if I get the ones above?

 

[carey]

I would put 2 koralia 750's in that tank. Or even 2 1050's

 

[TLTGF]

Agreed. I have now (3) 750's in my 54 gallon, and in about an hour when FedEx comes, I'll be adding a 4th.

Dang so I should go with with 1050s then cuz I really only want 2 unless I don't have a choice.

Do you think the aqueons push their rated flow? They're so small.

They do. I used the 500 one before and it was decent.

 

[mr_X]

They get bigger as the GPH goes up.

 

[KAhner]

Well of course but the 500gph one is like the size of a D battery.

 

[Ibrahim]

Well of course but the 500gph one is like the size of a c battery.

Its about the size of your fist closed.

I think I'm going to go with these. I'll look around for prices but as far as flow 2 of these? Think that's ok?

Not the one I seen. Not even close.

Are you sure it was aqueon? I used it about a month ago on my 8g then returned it when I got my 25g then got 2 800gph powerheads from eBay instead

Yeah those will work nicely. Did you decide on a return pump yet?

I'm between the mag drive 7 and the quiet one 3000. I've herd good things for both but mr x said he's run into the mag stop working prematurely.
