Information is all over the place in forums, and I'd like input from people currently using a powerhead that they are extremely happy with....I can figure out what size to buy, just looking for your help with reliable and efficient.
 
What are you're tank dimensions? I have an older model Tunze (6080?)...I need at least one more smaller GPM model to get rid of one small dead spot in the tank though. The tank is 8' long.
 
I like the old Maxi-Jet 600 I'm using, really quiet. Since I use it for circulation more than as a powerhead, if it dies I'd probably go with a Koralia now, the wattage is really low on those.
 
Koralia are some of the best, but I've read some really good reviews for SunSun on some of the reef forums, even after 2 years. For half the price you really can't beat it.
 
aquaclear. i have a 50 model thats still running for almost 8 straight years. i use two 20 models on my own internal canister filters. the 20s have been running and pumping for over three eyars now no problem. check ebay for them. all sizes are cheap there.
