My maxspect gyre motor completely froze up, not repairable, so I'm looking for a replacement. Looking for something inexpensive but controllable.
 
I have a Hygger 12 watt crossflow in my 13. They make several sizes if you want to replace the gyre and are priced well.
Tunze are my go to and I run a 6040 in my 15. They have a 5 year warranty and Tunze is the only powerhead I buy used.
I like Jebao powerheads and have had good success running them over the last few years.
 
Jebao and Hygger make a few models that are not too bad. The SLW and SOW are good for the money. I run two MP10s on my Biocube, and they work well, but I wouldn’t suggest it unless you can get them for a fair price used. AI Orbit 2 looks pretty nice if you want a more direct replacement.

I run a dmp 20 in my 35g nem system. It works well for the money. It's been running for 11 months now without a cleaning.
