Hey guys! I was just curious, I just got a 32 gallon biocube and I'm currently waiting out the cycling process. But for the future what's the best type of powerhead I should I get for the tank I currently have a fairly non expensive powerhead that pushes out 250gph. Thanks!

Best? Mp10 or a maxspect gyre.
There are many that are decent. I use koralia nanos in my 25 and 10. You'll just need more of them.

The issue with the mp10 and the gyre is that they are north of $200
However they are top of the line powerheads

Most powerheads give constant flow. Pumps like the mp10 can be programmed to give variable flows. This is especially helpful if you want to keep SPS corals like the Acrophora genus. If you plan to keep LPS corals or softies, you might make do with a good constant flow pump.
