what to use on 40gal breeder

tankaholic · Jan 18, 2016

Setting up a 40 gallon breeder tank and was wondering what powerhead would work the best. And should I use one or 2?

Thanks in advance

I use two, one is a Jebao RW-4 & the other is a Koralia Nano 425

I use 2 Ecotech mp10's, one on each side. Now that I have a few Jawbreaker mushrooms, I am just running one now.

I use 1 Gyre XF-130. Corals seem pretty darn happy with it [emoji4]

try one of the tunze with controller. I have a single 6055 with controller and it is a beast

I have an mp-10 and a RW-4 on my 40b.

I have a Rw 8 as my main current and a rw4 as a opposing current.
Mostly running 2 so there's no dead spots in my tank

I would go with a pair of 6040's, they are controllable and ideal for smaller tanks because they mount low behind the rockwork and are easily concealed.
