power head for biocube 29

[BoZachary2012]

I recently got a biocube 29 and I'm wondering about a power head. Does anyone have a recommendation? I don't really know the required calculations on flow and I'm pretty sure it only holds like 22 gallons. I'd like to be able to house any corals if that matters.

Depends on your price range, then depends on your preference. Tunze makes affordable pumps but i don't have any first hand experience with them. I know that Jebao will be releasing a wp-10 which will suit your needs. I got a mp-10 which i am real pleased with. I believe hydor has a nano powerhead as well. All depends on your pocketbook

I just put 2 hydor 600pgh in my tnak and like them although they are not that discreet.

Hydors are good. I had a few of them for awhile and they worked great. Ya thats the only problem with them, they are big and bulky. Do a search for nano power heads or checkout some online retail stores. Theres a lot of options out there.

In my biocube 29 I am running three hydor koralia nanos with the hydor smart wave maker. Right now I have a 425, and two 240's. They are definitely inexpensive, and work well. Amateur21 is right though, it really depends on your budget, because the mp10 is a very nice pump. The jebao's do get good reviews, and I'm excited to see what the wp10 is like. The wp25 is generally considered too much for a 29.
You should also consider upgrading the stock return pump. That will make a big difference in your flow as well!

Do a cobalt mj1200 return pump and maybe a couple koralia 425's. If the money is there for an mp10 do it. Big space savings and huge power and full control.

I upgraded the stock return pump with a maxijet 1200 (coblat now), that helped flow. Main flow is provided by a MP-10.
I used to use a tunze nanostream and it worked pretty well.
Either way there are many good options out there.

I ran 1 Hydor Koralia Nano 425 in my 29g Biocube. Placed it on the back wall opposite the stock pump and it did great.

Here's an old pic of my tank but you can see where I placed my pump.
