I am looking at powerheads and I have about 200$ to spend. I can get 1x MP40 used from a guy or buy 2x RW-8's off ebay for about 140ish. Now the MP40 is hands down much much better. But will it be able to handle the entire tank with a return? I have a few other power heads I could supplement with if needed.
 
I personally would run at least two powerheads, on opposite sides of the tank. One in front, one in back if you can. I like the whirlpool effect. ;)
 
Well the tank will be 3 side view so there will only be powerheads on the back wall
 
I mean I guess I can always use the MP40 and maybe sometime down the line buy another one. I have an RW-8 laying around and I can just use it in there for now. I want to buy quality so maybe its best to go that route for now?

To be honest, I have no experience with Jebao pumps. However, I do own many Vortechs and their quality is second to none. I especially like how easy they are to clean compared to other powerheads.
