Which and how many powerhads for 15g reef

[Filip1105]

Hi guys, I've been in freshwater tanks for about 7 years now, and I was always fscinated by saltwater ones. Now that I moved to different country I have more oportunity to try myself into saltwater hobby. I have 15g tank that I'm planning to set up as saltwater tank. I'm just not sure about powerheads, in only store that I have in my city, cheapest option is Tunze Nano Stream 6015, 6020, 6025. Which one to use and do I need 1 or 2?

You should be fine with 1. Really any power head will work fine in such a small tank.

Thank you, and which one from 3 of those i should get? Btw I'm planning on keeping just softies for start and pair of clowns, cleaning shrimp and a hermit crab.

Have a look at sicce xstream.great little powerheads

My 15 gallon has 2 sicce voyager nano powerheads.

I always recommend 2 powerheads so you can create random flow, very hard to get random flow from just one powerhead, you will have one-way linear flow.

I have both the Tunze and Sicce Voyagers…
my take:
Tunze are solid but the form factor is a lil large for my needs/taste
The Sicce are good also but have failed with too many on/off cycles (stuck/ off center impeller magnets)
I’d say if you go Sicce perhaps back off of the wave maker cycles a lil

I had a 10g tank and always kept an MP10 in there. You can also get the battery backup just in case your power ever goes out.
