I guess I'll give a little more info. My tank is a 165G DT, reef tank. Lots of sps and softies and everything, really.

Its a 6 foot tank and Im looking for a complete setup for it. I have three korallia 4s right now and then a pump that returns about 1000 GPH through four return lines. So about 4600 GPH right now, though the powerheads def arent doing their 1200 rated GPH as they could use a bit of a cleaning.

I'd put in a wavebox. If your setup will allow it there is nothing like it.

100% MP40W, nothing else comes close to the functions that they put out. If I were you I would keep the 2 K4's for that little extra bit of flow but between the 3 you should be good for any type of coral.

Vortech or Tunze - toss a coin. Either way you'll be happy.

I have An MP40 and 3 Tunze Turbelle with controllers. Both great powerheads, although I've had to replace the entire wet side of the MP40 and a few other washers and such, where as I've never touched the Tunze's expect for a little cleaning.

Just my thoughts.
