I love the Vortech's, very easy to control and you can so much with them. Well worth the expensive price tag.

Get a MP40W ES and if you ever upgrade, you keep the powerhead and keep using it. But a MP10 is good enough for your size though.

Gotta love the vortechs nice gentle, broad flow with a ton of undertow. The control is as well i got multiples on all of my tanks. But on a 33 a mp 10 would do wonders for you.

Depends on how much you want to spend: I love my MP40's, but they are a bucket-full of money. Tunze PH's are good and for a cheaper brand Hydor Korallia are as good as any.

How much do you want to spend? Vortechs are too rich for my blood! I use both Tunze and Koralia. A Koralia would be just fine for your tank. I had a Koralia 2 in a 36" 33g and it was a good size for that tank.
