What type of power head do you use

I started out with Koralias, they are great for the money. Broad chaotic flow, I just cleaned mine for the first time in 6 months and that was just for preventative maintenance, they were running just fine.
I had a #2 and a #1 on my 30 gallon and they worked great, the only thing I didn't like was the in-tank footprint, so I updated the #2 to a Vortech MP40W (cranked all the way down) and it's working awesome, I felt like I needed a little more flow anyway. ;D

I'll be moving everything to a 75 gallon in the near future and getting another Vortech for that. I like the small in-tank footprint, getting the electricity and heat out of the tank, and the much more randomized/broad flow possibilities.

 

i love the Koralias. i have used different brands of PHs before and they would overheat the water but with the design on the koralias there is virtually no heat produced.

i love how you can mount just about anywhere in the tank and point them any way you could think of.


by far the best PH produced to date

 

i have maxi-jet it works great, but i recently found and proud owner of a Zoo/Med Power-Sweeper it works great and the best of all it moves left to right, it sweeps leaving no dead zones, and creating waves, same price as the maxi-jet but with a built-in wavemaker!

Koralias so far, but have ordered the Maxijet with the alge mod which also has the different mounts and higher output volume.

 

thanks for all the input from everyone it is very much appreacated. I wish that there was a broader spectrum but I guess to each there own. wish I could give mass karma to all.

 

well bought a korilia 4 and we will see how it works

 

Just set up the MJ 1200 with the 1600 Mod.... had to use the smaller propeller !! OMG...with the larger prop...huge motion!! way more then the Kor 4 .......it is cheaper ...like 30 bucks...but it has suction cups...and it has a slight shimmer...where the KOR 4 has none.....but lots more power the then the KOR 4

matter of preference

 

I have a kor 4 and purchased 2 kor look alikes off ebay,basically(almost idenical) the same thing just had to buy the magnetic mounts seperate but still alot cheaper and they all seem to be doing fine.

 

I am using a Vortech MP40 and I love it really nice flow. I was previously using Korillias and I think they are very good as well.
