First off, what kind of powerheads are you using, and what condition do they appear to be in? You might have good powerheads that have just had lousy care taken of them.
+1...koralia powerheads are the best powerheads you can buy for the money. Vortech is the highest quality, but probably isnt worth the price tag.
Or you could take them out every other week...or even once a month and go over all the moving parts with a toothbrush. I do that as part of my water changes.
Honestly, i dont know. They look like marineland powerheads, but I couldnt tell you what I am basing that off of, other then my experience with marineland products.
I got a full blown 55gal saltwater setup for free on saturday. LR, sand, two powerheads, current 4 x 54 t5 ho with moonlights, sump, and protein skimmer. I replaced the sump with an ac 100 because the sump is about fall apart. There is one coral in there that I cant identify. It looks like a mushroom, but has all these tiny polyps on it.
Other then that, no fish came with it. I added two clowns and a scooter blenny today.
