What powerhead would you recommend

[rbillings]

I am getting my xf150 motor replaced under warrenty and am thinking about changing flow. I have a 57 gallon deep blue. 36x18x20. Mostly softies and lps. What powerhead would you recommend? And go

Sun sun brand on amaZon... They're cheap and put out good flow

Only complaint is the mounts that stick them to the glass

If I had the money id get the external wires powerheads

Two Ecotech Mp10 qd ew would be my choice. lets you have more random flow than the on gyre pump. Random flow really makes a difference in a tank's health.

I agree if unhappy with the gyre then vortech is other way to go. I've actually ran the sun sun,hydor,tunze,vortech,and now gyre. I've been very happy with the gyre so far. But have love for vortech yet it great equipment. Till there's better we will either run the gyre or vortechs in any system I setup.

2 mp10qd! Amazing customer servive, ability to by replacement parts, no wires in the tank, and EXTREMELY controllable

I have a mixed reef w/ SPS dominant tank and I run a XF130 pushing side to side and 2x MP-10WQDs pushing back to front. You may be able to go with 1x MP-10 with the corals you have. The QD is worth getting, it's much quieter and flow is a little better. IMO with what you have though, it should be good enough for softies and LPS.
