inexpensive powerheads/pump

[scott11]

I haven't bought equipment in a few years, so looking for input.

I have 92corner (BTA's and soft coral only). I had 2 mp10's, but they didnt do the job, no room behind tank for mp40 and dont want the cost. Now running 2 sureflow maxijets- they are better since I can aim them, but looking for something with a little more flow, and a little more reliable on startup.

Whats out there these days?- looking for cheaper models... <50$. I always hated the way korillias looked, but I can deal with it if they are the only alternative.

JBJ Oceanstream 1600's should fit your requirements.

the new koralia evolutions dont look bad at all. they are alot smaller, use very low wattage and push a good amount of water. i added 2 1400's in my tank this last weekend and i was really surprised how small they are compaired to the old ones.

they are also controlable, but keep this in mind... they do make a click noise basically every time they start up. most the time i cant really hear it. but sometimes it is loud and anoying.

koralia is a good low budget option

I run 4 x koralia evo 1400's in my tank. They work well, but do click a little if you are doing basic on/off control with them.
