Powerhead max-170

[discostew]

Hey all,

looking to get some opinions. Searched around and found a few relevant threads. Just seeing if anyone had some current insight.
I have a Rs max e-170. Aqua scape has 2 small arches.
Trying to figure out what powerhead is good enough. Plan for fish and softies. Maybe ppe, no sps.
Hoping to get away with ONE. Ml10s are nice but super pricey, maybe down the line. I’m looking at the IM desktop and mid size wave links. Would desktop be too small?
Also looking at some of the lower cost tunze pumps, any recs?
The other would be the AI Nero 3.
Really trying to stay in 100-200 dollar range for now.
Thanks!
