Powerheads for a 65g reef

[taat2d]

Anyone using these powerheads?

The are very reasonably priced. I like that they rotate making waves. I'd love to hear from those that are using them. I am thinking of getting the K2's the pump 650gph. Will 2 of these be enough water movement for a 65g tank?

I'm looking for sugestions for powerheads for a 65gal soon to be reef tank. The tank will be stocked mainly with LPS, leathers, polyps, and zoo's. I am looking into the Hydor PH's. I think I need 2 of them not sure what flow rate would be best. Don't wanna have to buy twice.

Two Model 3 Koralias will be enough flow for the livestock listed.

Are they too strong for the sand bed?

Positioned properly, there should be minimal (if any) disturbance of your sandbed.

2 Tunze Nano 6025's Is What I Have For My 65g

What's the flow rate of the Tunze? And the price? Oh, one more thing, what is the size of the Tunze? The Hydor's are real big I think.

I have one Tunze Stream 6000 + controller and one Tunze Nano 6045 in my 65g. It's about 50x turnover i think

Deano's I'm really leaning towards the Tunzes nano's. Can I see a pic of them in your tank? If I remember correctly you have a 65g too?

Ill Take A Picture Of Mine In My 29g High, They Will Be Modded And Put Into My 65, With Almost Double The Output. Flow Is Between 620-720 Un Modded, Seen On Rc They Are Getting Around 1200 Out Of A Modded 6025 Tunze. I Have All Lps In Tank

maybe two #3s.the 4s are rated at 1200.just check the specs and the flow rating.just remember that you have to keep in mind the type of corals your going to keep.some like lots and some like little.

The #2's are rated at 600gph, the #3's are rated for 850. I have no idea which ones I'd be better off with.

 

[deelucky]

i would go with 3s imo.they make a nice flow not to harsh.you could move them around on the swivel if its blowing to hard in a specific area.
