Well, you probably want to consider the flow tolerances of any of your corals you might have in your reef first and then place your powerheads accordingly. What kind of corals are you keeping/planning to keep in your 50G?

I have found placing a power head a each end of the tank. Aim them at eachother. This will create a great flow.

That's 60+ watts of heat just from the PHs. I would go with Koralias. R
