Ecotech MP pumps is what I recommend. You would probably need two MP10s but you might be able to get away with one MP40. Mixed reef or mostly SPS?

I installed a Maxspect Gyre 130 on my 57G. It moves a huge amount of water. Other than the return line, it's the only flow device in the tank, and I don't see a need for another powerhead at the moment. It's awesome, and it was reasonably affordable.

Sorry; Ecotech is what I would recommend. Usually great customer service and the pumps are made very well. You should be able to find deals on used ones; reefers have upgraded to the QD series even though there was nothing wrong with their old ones.

Go to Aquapros if you want new and affordable alternatives. If you want higher end or items even less expensive wait for somebody to post Used item for sale.
 
i have 2 jebao rw-4's on a 40 breeder, and its more than enough flow. lots of small tuning adjustments available on them. I have ran both of mine for over a year so far, and no issues.

i've used jebao returns and powerheads (RW15 and PP15)- experience shows they don't last more than 6months. Sadly, I put my $20 Koralia back in the tank.

2cents- avoid Jebao if your looking for longterm
