what powerhead should I get

[faulkincanyon]

Im wondering what brand/models of powerheads would be good for my 20 gallon.

Maxxi Jet 900 should do the job for a 20gal

I have three maxi 1200s in my tank. I like them. They're easy to get the impeller out to clean. I also have a fourth to mix salt mixes, and to move water into/out of containers. Works quite well.

I don't really like the suction cup mounts though. I've made some acrylic hangars that seem to work a little better.

I just switched out my maxijetts for a Koralia 1 . Advantages are it uses a magnet to hold it on so you can easily move it . Also has a shaft bearing that lets you change angles and position the propeller . Another thing is it uses a little less power than the maxijett's do .
A bit pricey I paid $39.99 for mine new the other day . It replaced two smaller maxijetts in my tank and seems to move more water than the two jetts moved .

You could get by with 1 Koralia 1 or 2 in a small tank

so when I get a powerhead..do I let it run all the time or do I need a wavemaker
