NoobtoSalt Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm running the aqueon powerheads in my 120 reef and they are awesome. Keep in mind I'm running the 1650 models but I'm sure you could snag a couple of the 950's for each end of your tank and be happy. Also you could look at the Koralia Evolution 1050's. Great models as well. And if you look hard enough you can get a great deal online for a pair. Just buy it from a big company don't buy it from flea-bay.

impur Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yah i'd suggest one of the powerheads that use props, they generally have a much wider flow pattern so you avoid blasting a small jet right at a coral. I'd try to find a couple Koralia 2s or Koralia nanos for that tank, one at each end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 what would u consider a big company and what would b a good deal on a pair of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 will those koralias cove the 48" legth of the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 http://www.petmountain.com/category/181/1/powerheads.html I've purchased from them before when they had free shipping plus sale prices. You also might check to see if any LFS would match their prices. When I purchased my first ones online I found out that most of the LFS would match their prices. Worst they can tell you is no and you still buy it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 would koralia evolution 750x2 be sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 In a 33 long I think that would be good. I have two 1050's in my 90. But I also run a big return pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 well i do have 1050 gph return pump and at this point its probably going in a 40-45 gallon sump would that b enough to allow the 750's to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 For what you listed as stock. You should be fine. I run 1050 return and two 750s on a 55 with a 20 sump all the softies in there are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
