Powerhead options/reviews needed

[Tyler Flynn]

I am looking to add more flow to my tank and i'm wondering which powerhead(s) to go with.
i currently use a tunze6025, 6015, and an aqamai kps (100% flow). I do not want a gyre, and i do not want powerheads on my side panels (vortech, etc). I am wanting powerheads with the maneuverability of the tunze, and the programmability of the aqamai.

thoughts?

I'm thinking the AI Nero line.

Ai does

Does not have the maneuverability i am looking for. I want to be able to direct the flow, not just straight towards the front glass

Sicce Xstream SDC is the only other one I can think of that functions similar to the Tunze.

Have you looked at the Tunze 24vdc pumps? They are fully controllable and maintain the form factor of your original Tunze pumps.

I have looked, but i wasn't sure how controllable they were. I'll try to find some better in use videos maybe

Depends on how involved you want to get. They have their own controllers which are ok; they also support any 0-10v options out there. They can do anything that other popular controllable pumps can but with a bit of Tunze quality on top like a little cherry.

I don't run a controller. The only thing i would say is i wish the length of pulses could be longer. 5-60 minutes rather than 1-10 seconds

Unfortunately that won't happen without a 0-10 external controller. Sad face :(

Get the 6095. You don't need all the ups and downs. It provides nothing special for the corals

Well after some digging i'm contemplating going with the 6055 to replace the 6025, and putting the 6025 where the 6015 is.
i had ok flow before and by doing this swap i double the flow output from each one, and gain 1 variable flow option.
