Does anyone have any recommendations for a powerhead for a 50g? The tank is going to consist of Gorgonians, Dendros, Sponges, Sun Corals, an Acan and a Ricordia Mushroom. I've looked at the Nero 5s, but they have a reputation of being fish traps. I saw the Nero 3 is coming out, supposedly with a better fish guard, but I'm not sure if 2,00gph is enough for a 50. Any recommendations are welcomed!
 
What are the dimensions of the tank? Can’t go wrong with two mp10’s but than can be pricey.
 
If you want them on the back, which I prefer, I'd do Tunze Streams because you can aim them. Plus they are bombproof and their customer service is the BEST!

They seem pretty well. Also pretty affordable, I'll do more research and I might pick two up during Black Friday
 
If you don't need electronic pumps, their AC models are very reliable and affordable, and can be controlled with simple timers for tidal simulation.
