Powerhead suggestions. 72 gallon bow

[southerntnreefer]

Hey all building out a 72 bow. Need your suggestions for flow. I want 2 heads.

I've been looking at the following, but I'll listen to anything. ( Trying to stay away from jebao on this build)

Nero 5 (supposedly has issues with small fish)
Reefbreeders rp-m
Ecotech mp10

Ideas?

I'm not after sps, or very much sps. It will be mostly lps, with choice sps like montis

MP10s would be my choice

2 on back wall I was thinking? I see alot of used ones for sale. I buy things used when I can. Anything to look for or be afraid of with these?

Just make sure their not to old. Dbl check glass thickness for mounting.

What's too old for one?

What's too old for one?

Remember most pumps are run 24/7 so anything over 12 mths would be to old for me, others may think differently. Condition is also key.

I've had tunze powerheads last for over 10 years, they keep chugging along,

The only thing i dont like about the TUnze is the space it takes up.

Hence why i was sorta leaning twords the

Reefbreeders, and or the Mp10
