No, they are not just like koralia... Aqueon uses the standard impeller design which is inferior IMO. They can easily get clogged with sand and are louder. Koralia makes the better product.

No power head will ever magically make air???? no model will hook an airline to it and then some how create air from water to power a bubble disc.
I have 2 of the sun sun knock off power heads I love them the only complant is I got the ones with suction cups and not magnets and If I move them they fall off. it was only 30 bucks for two 1300gph power heads, they have fallin into the sand when I was at work and where still working, this was play sand so it has rocks in it, the rocks would get stuck in the grates. I must say that even if they burn out in two years well worth my 30 bucks.
Edit: if you have a magic power head that makes air from water I want to see a video.

You need a airstone to get air.
If you want a good powerhead, and not spend alot of money, these are what I buy...

If you are wanting 6w powerheads, you can look at these. They are only 800gph not 1300gph like the last ones I showed you, but should still do good for your tank.

If you have a 180g tank, two of these would be best, one at each end of the tank.
They will point in any direction you put them in. But you have to point them, they dont move on their own.
