power heads

[andy99]

i am looking to buy new power heads and i was wondering if i should go with the tunze directional one or the new vortech

what size tank? what kind of corals? Which tunze directional one? If youre just wondering which is a better product tunze or vortech its like asking ford or chevy. If you are more specific about your set up the folks here can help a little more.

i have a 150 gal reef with 3 toad stools, 2 large figure leathers, 1 very large hamer head, 1 small torch, i anemone 5 years old, 1 plate coral, and misc sps

the tunze one that is directional is tunze Turbelle stream i like the feature that it is directional instead of the vortech not be able to ajust were the water goes

What are the dimensions of the tank? Are you sps dominant? Do you have a sump(return pump)? I have no experience with the Vortechs, but my experience with tunze's are that they make a great product. Quiet and efficient. There are a lot of options with tunze and I like the 6025's I have. You'll need bigger pumps than that of course. My choice would be to go with 3-4 tunzes on a multicontroller. You also may want to look into the new koralia pumps if you are on a budget. They are supposed to work well on a cheap controller. You could get plenty of quality flow for probably half the cost of tunzes or vortechs.
