What's your favorite powerhead for a nano?

Koralia nano or Jebao rw-4

Jebao SLW. Have had both of mine for well over a year. I can't even hear them - even when right next to the tank and everything else is off. Push a lot of water too.

Love the Nero 3 in the nano

Love my Nero 3’s, extremely quiet and unobtrusive.

Twin Nero 3’s with one set to child. Completely silent up to 80% power, then you can hear them. My LPS can’t handle more than 60% power. Great app as well.

i use a nero 3 now my only complaint is that sometimes after turning it off it’ll get stuck and I have to unplug the power a few times to get it going again. Had 0 issues with a hygger mini wave maker that’s half the price

Jabeo SLW

Slw-5 is amazing in my 13.5

Jebao ow-25 in my 20g nano cube.
Running 100% on wave 1.

Undoubetly Nero 3

Really wanted a Nero 3 - couldn't find one so settled on a Hygger ECO Slim (mini). Really like it and it is super quiet!

Jebao SLW gets my vote. Small profile, nice wide flow which is great for smaller tanks, super easy to clean and maintain. I've had 4 of them running on various tanks for over a year with no issues whatsoever.

I have the Nero 3 in my max nano and love it. Easily one of the best purchases I made for the tank.

Where in the tank is the one power head located?
I have a Biocube 32 and I’m going to add a Nero 3 but I’m curious if I’m mounting it to the glass on one side or if the back wall is a viable option?

Jeabo Sow-4: tiny, affordable, controllable

 

[chipchipbro]

Aqua Medic SmartDrift 7.1
Pretty much a twin of the Nero‘s.

It is very very quiet and has also different modes like the Neros.

You guys should check for it when AI Nero is hard to get

im using a nero 2 in my 20g tank and a koralia nano 240 and both are great i love my nero 3 its quiet and powerful and doesnt take up much space

Oops! Double post, lol.

Not sure if this counts as a nano powerhead, but the Sicce Voyager Nano 2000 is marketed for tanks 30 gallons and under. I was told it could go higher, so I decided to give it a try for my 40B, and it’s actually really powerful and works quite well! In fact, I kinda wish it was more adjustable so I could lower the intensity a bit.

Use the smaller Hyggers in both of my nanos. Affordable, work well, quiet, easy to clean.

I have a MP40 in my 29g. Not kidding, it runs at 5-10%(maybe 10-15%, the minimum). I would of course never buy that for the tank, but it fell off my 180g and started making noise, so I replaced the one for the 180g. I figured why not. I'll eventually have to replace the bearings in it, but at that level it's pretty quiet.

But the plan for the next stage of that tank is to move it into a 24g cube with an overflow box on the back and 2 return loc lines. I'm hoping I can get enough flow just with the return pump for the tank so that I have no power heads at all(anemone tank). If I need a power head I'll get something smaller.
