Hello everyone, I'm looking for a budget powerhead that works well and lasts. I want something similar to the nero just with a better price. Amazon has some but they don't have many reviews so I figured I'd see if anyone has a recommendation.
Thanks

Any specific gph you're looking for?

Amazon product ASIN B07B8XR2JF
This pump does me wonders. It's very powerful for its size, is relatively quiet, and lasts for many years. I haven't had one break down on me yet, and I own 3. If you have a tank larger than 30 gallons, this may not be for you. The setting I normally use is about 150gph.

The link/pic isn't working. What pump is it?
 
The tank size would be helpful to suggest a powerhead?

Personally I use sicce voyager nano's as my cheap powerheads, they are less then $50 each and last for years.

Stay away from the no-name brands on amazon. Even good brand names make 'low budget' powerheads, pay the few extra dollars and stick with brand names.

Oh, well it's a black 3"x2" usb pump sold for freshwater use but I find it to work just fine in sw too. It's 17.70 USD, with a cage around the intake for animal safety. I think the brand is Decdeal? It's a generic pump, and there are many like it sold online, but this particular model performs better than other ones I've gotten, so it sucks that the think isn't working. I'll try it again though.
