I am relocating my clown loaches out of my pee-wee sized 29 gallon tank into a 55 gallon for more room. I need a powerhead. What is a good brand? I heard good things about the Koralia powerheads.

What kind of power would I need or a 55 gallon freshwater with just 5 clown loaches?
is there a better powerhead I should look into? Do I need revolving? Money is not an issue.

once again thanks to all you wise fish heads out there!
 
I dont have any experience with clown loaches, but I read somewhere they like high currents. I just ordered a Koralia Hydor #1 pump (400 gph) last week, but what arrived yesterday was a #4 pump (1200 gph). I have a 125g freshwater tank and I thought this might be too much, but my silver dollars don't seem stressed by it.

edit: For your tank, I'd imagine a Koralia Hydor #1 pump (400 gph) is plenty. But im no expert...
