Default Powerheads??

I was wondering what would be a better choice to go with in my 33 gal salt tank that I will be setting up.
I am looking at either going with the koralia powerheads or the new Zoo med sweep powerheads.
Also how many of each and what size should i go with?
Thanks for the info!!

I like the Koralias. What type of corals are you wanting to keep? I have a Koralia 2 in my LPS reef now, and I would like to add a Koralia 3 to replace the MJ1200 I have in there.

I like the koralias. I found the powersweeps to constantly jam up even with regular cleaning.

If money is no object, get a VorTech MP20. You'll only need one.

again if price is not a huge issue Tunzi 6055 small for your tank and if you want to add a controller later you can pluss you can change the voltage on the pump from 8-24v to adjust the strength of the flow then if you decide to go to a larger tank in the future you wont need to change your pumps just up the voltage.
