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.

 it really depends on what your specific need are......vortechs are great for the broad flow, undertow, cool programs, sheer power and easy of adjustment.....the one drawback of them is you cant point them..... tunzes dont quite have all those other features but the big draw is that you can point them where you need to and you get more mounting options(can mount one to an internal overflow if you want) someone should really find a way to combine the two.....I personally use both

I used 1 Koralia 2 in my 25g nano (plus HOB skimmer) and there was plenty of flow with no algae or cyano growth. I have three of them in my 90g that I set up this summer and so far so good. I got all three from a fellow canreefer for a really good price. I would love a vortech but just can't justify the price if what I have is already working well for me.
