New to powerhead.. what are the best band?

[zerojquan85]

I'm looking into powerheads for my 180 gallon tank..
I want something that uses low wattage and has high GPH. so far i've heard Krydon hydros to be the best..


But i want something that is like kyrdon's where its giant propeller, but has an attachment for airtubes from an air pump..

I have to disagree, Tunze is the best!

hm.. ic thanks for that info... i still like Koralias since they use much less wattage compare to maxi jet and aquaclear..


PS: Mods! can anyone please change my title so it reflects "BRAND" instead of "BAND" its a typeo

I don't see how because the impeller isn't in a closed impeller housing...it's more like a caged prop, rather than a pump body...
