Type of powerheads for 60x36x30?
 
I didn't do a CL for various reasons - including that I like powerhead versatility. But now I can't decide which powerheads - suggestions? am I missing something?

280g (60x36x30), mixed reef, corner overflows, 1/2" glass, dart return pump

Initial Powerhead impressions in QTY's of 4:

Vortechs - I can't afford

Koralia's - HUGE!

MJ mods - ugly

Tunze 6055 - Some say aren't enough flow?

Any thoughts from owners of the above? Thanks!

I would do two Tunze 6201's and a multicontroller. I would also do a few mj900 mods or 6025/6045 nanostreams.

That is a big tank. it would take a lot of koralia's/mj mods/ 6055's... etc, for enough flow.

I re-read your post... sorry.

What's your budget?

Budget?

Somewhere between $400-800

It's like I can go cheap or WAY expensive but nothing in between =/

I originally though 4 koralia's on Seio wavemakers... but then I saw how big a koralia was =/

Edit: aren't Tunze 6100/6200 the same size as Koralia's and the same price as Vortechs?

Yeah they are exactly how you describe them. If you have a black background, you won't even notice them.
