Hello all, I am looking to add some flow to my 54 corner soft coral tank. I used a zoomed movable powerhead a few years ago but it did not last
are there any inexpencive sweping powerheads that actuly work and do not break after a few months ?

I use the rotating Hydro Flo's on a MJ, with the wave maker power strip. Creates good random flow, So far the Hydro's have been running for almost 6mo. 3 of them and there still going, probably need a cleaning soon (vinager soak), the only problem is on the one near the rocks sometimes snails get jammed between the rotater and the rock.

Ive heard those sweepers arn't any good. Then again ive heard these hydro flo's wear out fast too, well see. You get what you pay for, Quality or Cost.

I also have the Hydro Flo's on my return from my sump (mag5)
But wanted to add some more side to side flow
