Pumps/powerheads

[thirty6]

Other than MP vortech line of pumps, what would recommend? I will hopefully be setting up a new tank soon. I have one mp 40 now and will def. Need an additional pump or two as the the tank is 5' and 29" deep. Tia

+1. I'm a big Tunze fan.
The newer Koralia Evos aren't bad either, for the price.

I have used Vortech's but I prefer Tunze's myself......

If you do not require ramping speeds then multiple Koralia EV 1400s is budget friendly.

how many would you suggest for a 5" tank?

and to be honest i have no idea how it will be stocked yet

1 MP40 is enough to get u started. Then either save up or look for a used MP40.
Imo, that the best way to go. Never had a tunze. But other pumps just don't compare.

I would say 4 if those are the only powerheads you are using. 2 on the back and 2 on the sides.
