I had posted this in another forumonly because I have a large reef tank but doing this here as a suggestion: I just recently got a Hydor Mag 6 pump/powerhead to place in the tank. It works like a champ. I have a 125G reef w/lots of rock. I had purchased some hydor 4's when the tank first went up- but the magnets would not hold thru the glass. This one does very nicely. Has a nice stream, steady, no noise or vibration. Also does not come with the extra little piece that flies off the end when the pump is turned on. This one has the 'grate' built in. So all for this: pump price + quality = I'll give it a 9. I'll wait a few weeks before I may want to say 10. Only drawback- its as big as your favorite coffee cup you use on your day off!
3 cheers to Hydor for a GREAT powerhead!

I recently got the magnum 8, and it is a fantastic powerhead for my 180.

I plan to purchase some of the Magnum 8. Sure they're big but given the fact that they push 3200 gph I don't need to have a lot of them in the tank, plus I can hide them behind rockwork fairly well.
