PowerHead replacement

[BucNtears]

Hey guys I'm need to replace my powerheads and I'm looking for suggestions. Currently I'm running 2 maxijet 900's modded. I'm stuck in decideing between.
2 Tunze Turbelle NanoStream Pump 6045
2 Tunze Turbelle Stream 2 Pump 6065

Also my budget is tight, seems everyone else I've talked to tells me "get" Ecotech Marine VorTech Propeller Pumps with Wave Driver (2xMP40W Units)2 VorOpinons,

I'm really leaning towards the NanoStream due to its size. The maxjet 900's provided good flow along with my return(snapper w/oversized impeller).



Thanks

Turbelle NanoStream Pump 6045 thats my preference

How big is the tank and what are you keeping?

My tanks a 120 with twin overflows, I've got an reeflow snapper with an oversized impeller on it. The return supplys the tank via 1.5 pvc flex pipe that feeds 4 nozzles. The maxijets were used for added flow.
The tank is mainly sps with some lps. With the return running an oversized impeller I was getting good flow. But the maxijets have become worn out.

Tanks be running almost 3 years.

If you will keep your strong return flow, you could use 2 6045's, otherwise 2 6055's or even 2 6105's could be used, with a much smaller return pump.

Worst case I could place another 6045 as the tank grows out. (?)

Yes.
