    If price is a factor I would just go with MaxiJet 1200. You already have a Power Sweep and the 201 so I think the 1200 would work in there well.

    I am currently watching a ebay item, 2 aquaclear 4000 power heads for $30. They are rated at 396 gph. Do you think thats a good deal? All i need is one , but for that price i think all take the two. I just need a litlle more water movement.

    Look at the SEO 620 pump. 620 GPH at 8 watts of power. The maxijet 1200 is 296 GPH at 18 watts. Marine Depot sells them for $37.00

    Check the Koralia powerheads, I bought one, it's on it's way now.. comes with a magnetic holder and moves a good amount of water.. quite a few people advised it.

    I have to agree with 2t2_crash 100% The Koralia are so beneficial to my tank, that's pretty much all have in there! Just a light, heater, Live rock/sand/water, and a powerhead (well, 2 now :D)! I just have 29g so I am using only biological filtration.
