looking to get a couple "cheaper" not "cheapest" powerheads for my 90 gallon, any suggestions?
thinking 2 instead of 1 to have some cross flow

brands? gph?
also anybody ever use sun suns? seen a guy on CL selling new ones 1300gph for 20, they look like the koralias...

I would recommend Koralia 4's. Theyre not too expensive new and go for cheap used (i sold a pair for $40). Those sun suns are a hit and miss, some have success while other complain of their cheapness. I personally have never tried them and try to stay away from that generic type of equipment. Wiz.
 
My friend bought a pair of those resun ph's and they caught on fire.You will soon learn that no hobby is cheap.
 
would two of the 1400s be too much... or should i go with the 1050s. i was told 2000-2500 gph flow was recomended. my ehiem retun pump is im assuming pushing around 3-400 gph now (1260-with a 4'+ rise)
 
I think you should get 4 powerheads. I have a SeaSwirl, which flows my entire tank pumped back from the fuge/sump, in addition to 2 Evolutions. Good flow is more important than light!
 
ok so 1400 right side front mid level, 1050 left side (same as return) a little lower than mid tank in the front. and a 750 top back wall facing the front glass. what do u think?... am i thinking about this too hard?
