Has anyone tried these power heads? If so, what did you think of them? Someone let me try one out. The flow seemed week, howver it was only a 400 GPH unit. The spray pattern seemed wide enough. Was wondering how the larger ones compared to the top name brands. I would appreciate all feed back. Thanks- Chris

doing a search brings up lots of reviews of these new PH's:

Consider getting the tunze 6025. After you mod it it is supposed to put out around 1100 gph. Really wide pattern.

I have one of the 4's on one end of my 125 and it is great. A wide pattern, but I like it like that.

I have a 4 and a nanostream 6025. I like the 4 better than the stream. It is a little bigger, but the mount is much better IMO.

I have two of the #4's in my new 75. They are my first powerheads, so I don't really have anything to compare them to. I have them mounted about 6" down from the top of the aquarium, and I can see that the surface stays pretty well agitated.

I'm cycling rock in there now, so I move them once a day to blast stuff off of the rock. They do a great job of getting the whole tank stirred up.

We might also want to add they are LOW watt users. I know the Tunze NanoStream's use less, but when you look at the Tunze NanoStream 6045 at just under 1200 gph, it uses 7 watts. The #4 is 1200 gph and only uses 8.5. A seio 1100 uses 21. I am looking to buy 2 more of my 120.
