Any thoughts on a good power head? Looking for something that doesn't cost a fortune and does change its direction when power goes off and comes back on.

New Korilas are good, no more reversing issues!!
Best/ Cheapest option IMO

I have many Koralias, both quite old (like 5 yrs) and new (a few months), and I have never had any reversing issues with any of them although I've heard lots of people complain about this. The only powerheads I really care for are Tunze or Koralia. MaxiJets have their place as mixing pumps or reactor pumps, but not as in-tank powerheads imo.

I have 2 koralia power heads and they both reverse after the power goes out, it is a real pain in the butt. Tunze power heads are way too much money, imo so I am looking for something............?
