powerhead and flows and suggestions tunzee

[saltwaternoobie]

So currently i am looking at power heads ,thought I had it figured out with maxspect gyre and now hearing mixed reviews . So I am looking at conventional power heads ! I would love the vortechs however not looking at them right now as they are expensive as everyone knows as well I am not fully sure what I am looking at having for corals . So planning on some decent tunzee s.

My question is one is flow and turnover rates . I have a 75 gallon and plan on a power heads at each end ! So I need two heads and this may sound stupid , but being one pointing at each other does that change turnover rates ?meaning two power heads rated at 1000gph each would give a total of 2000 gph ?

Second of all does anyone have suggestions for tunzee power heads I did some reading and some say where the tank falls in ie good for 50 to 90.gallons and then I will see rated for
10 to 55+ gallons plus , confused at the moment

Price wise I don't want to spend four hundred on a power head however I dont want a pos that I paid 40 bucks for any input would be great !

1. To determine flow you add up the flow from all the devices in your display tank that move water, so if you had two 1000 gph powerheads and 500 gph from your return pump your tank would have 2,500 gph of flow.
2. The total flow you want is determined by what you plan on keeping in the tank. For a fish only tank you want around 20 turn overs per hour so 1500 gph for your tank. For soft corals look for about 30 turn overs (2250 gph) and if you plan on keeping SPS or other high flow corals a minimum or 40 turn overs (3000 gph) would be necessary, although many successful reefers go even higher than 40 turn overs for SPS.
