Who makes a good powerhead?

I have Jebao SLW20s that have run for a couple years. When I bought them one had a bad controller, returned & replaced. Since then been a-ok. I can't imagine you would need 2 on a 20L but SPS is high flow...

I have SLW30s now for 8mo and likewise no issues on a 4.5ft tank and only run at 50%. They keep running silently even when dirty.

Just bought a Hygger Mini 1600 and am impressed by the amount it pushes in such a small form factor. The controller having built in day periods is slick too compaired to the Jebaos that are basically one-setting (the night/day function doesn't work if the controller is in the cabinet!)

Cheap, but effective. I would have a hard time dropping $$$ on others to do the same job.

I'm curious, how did your MP10 wetsides "keep breaking"??

The ceramic kept breaking. It broke i think 5 times in one year but Ecotech kept replacing them since it was under warranty, they broke one more time after the warranty so i sold them.

Nero is quieter than my Sicce silent pump, what kind of sound is it making? have you tried cleaning it?

They've been loud since they were new and its just a really loud hum, and i have cleaned them several times. Also since new one pump doesnt like to come back on if you turn it off, it makes a high pitched noise and doesnt spin, i emailed AI about this and they said clean it but that didnt help.

What is the original Jebao type powerhead?

I currently run 2 Slim Pro 1200's on a 40G Breeder.

Super Quiet, DC Pumps with App, it takes some tricks but you can sync them in the app, regardless of what Amazon reviews say, I have both in Sync on Gyre Mode turned down to 28%, pulsating every 5 seconds.

So far so good, one of the highest reviewed Wave Maker on Amazon almost 5 stars with tons of reviews.

And again...SUPER QUIET.

They have controllers with long cables, if you don't use the app, and wire hangers to mount controllers neatly underneath or on back of your tank.

Plus 3 different fittings for wave size.

$149 for the 1200 on Prime.

what brand is it trying to find on Amazon
