Powerhead suggestions

[newbreefr]

I am in the process of building a 40 breeder reef tank and still haven’t decided on a powerhead. Going to keep softies and lps for now. I’m looking for something under $100. I’m currently looking at 2 jebao rw4. Or 2 Hydor koralia 565. Please help and thank you in advance

I would get at least 2 powerheads you want to create turbulant flow. Unidirectional flow is unnatural and can lead to some odd grow patterns and issues with nutrient export. Flow would be one place you dont want to skimp on.

I would go with these if you want jebao. They are an upgrade from the rw model.
Decent pumps and they push alot of water.
I have 2 in my 36x24x12 frag tank and only run them on level 3.
They came out of my 120 after a year.
