Powerhead suggestions for 35 gallon cube

[KillerKadoogan]

I'm currently building a 35 gallon cube (20×20×20) reef tank. I'm new to all of this and need suggestions on power heads. I'm obviously starting with beginner corals and hope to eventually do some anenomes as well.

Constant flow, but you can opt for the 1000 or 2000 depending on your needs (either would work in your tank). They only draw 2-3 watts of power.

It's really personal preference. I use a lot of Sicce products and they're been 100% reliable.

I appreciate the info. I only used poweheads in my cichlid tanks to get rid of dead spots, and keep reading about how flow is important for coral growth so I'm trying to learn as much as I can .

They're great to supplement flow by helping clear out waste and deliver nutrients to corals as well as helping to oxygenate the water.

Any thoughts on gyre pumps?

They'll be too strong for that small a tank.
