Ecotech MP20?

[xxnonamexx]

Does anyone use these powerheads? Would 1 for my 120g FOWLR work? I currently have 1 Koralia 4

I have one on my 90 gallon, along with a couple K's on the other side. One is definitely not enough for a 120 gallon. They dont sell them anymore btw, you buying a used one?

 

[xxnonamexx]

wonder why they discontinued them? I am trying to find 1 good powerhead for a 120g to replace the 1 koralia 4 and then some. What would be able to reach across the tank keeping the entire tank well circulated w/o having to add a bunch of ph.

IMO one will not cut it. If you insist on one you should look into the larger Tunze powerheads, they have a much farther reach than vortechs. Vortechs have a much broader flow.

what about JBJ Oceanstream Circulation powerhead at least 2 one on each side i'd be happy with

 

[nanojg]

I think that would work for an lps tank

The mp20 is nothing more then an mp40 with a slower driver. I have one but converted it into a mp40.

Personally I would get a single mp40. Its more flow then two k4. It depends on how much flow you really want and how the rock is arranged. I have run large fish only tanks with nothing more then the return for flow. You don't need a lot but it helps keep the food suspended longer.

do you have a pic of your tank? Damn a 40 is 465$

Marine depot has 25% off the jbj, look into the 1600 kit with the dual pule, 75 bucks totsl after discount!

Yea they are not cheap. I don't believe that you need a controllable powerhead for a fish only. You don't need them for reefs but they are definitely nice to have.

Why not get a koralia mag 8?
