Hmm... lotta more choices then I thought.....
And there arent many youtube videos that show them in action..
lol they just sit there you wouldnt see any thing.
i can tell you all the ones listed put out alot of flow and all good choices(although i dont have expierenced with tunze, but its a good brand although over priced i think).
i have a seio m820 in a 40 gallon, which is 1/3 the power of the 2600. it provides flow to the entire tank, if it was a little bit more powerful the bounce back of the other side of the wall would rip plants out of the substrate.
i do like seio although they are god ugly, people will think you have a security camera in your tank.
the modified maxijets are the most economical out of any mentioned. and i do think its easier to implement many lower powered powerheads then one huge one. they are almost as ugly as the seio, though its smaller then the 2600.
koralia are the best looking out of any mentioned, they provide good diffuse flow too. a bit more diffused then any others others mentioned. how every they do get pricey when you go past 3 or 4s.
you also need to take in account you stock you have. as some fish arent as built for speed as others. in my 40 i have comet goldfish, they do great in the high flow, but the weather loach in there finds it a bit difficult to catch food due to its poor eyesight and the food always blowing around.
