Hey guys so I have been looking around the forums doing my research on power heads and I have narrowed it down to two but am having trouble choosing between them. Im having a Rimless Reef Savvy 36x20x20 60gal built. I am torn between two Tunze Turbelle NanoStream 6045's (with the new adjustable flow knob) or two Hydor Koralia Evolution 1050 gph. I understand that the tunzes will be more expensive but I'm willing to spend the extra cash if the performance is better. Other then Flow, I'm also worried about heat (since I live down in fl and can't afford a chiller), footprint, noise and them starting in reverse. Thanks

won't have to worry about heat with either one, But I would go with tunze's, they are the only PH's I will ever use, quiet, low watts, and great CS. IMO the CS makes up for the diffrence in price.

Not to throw a wrench into the mix but id go with Ecotech mp40 and mp10 on your tank.

I would if:
A. The mp10 would work on 1/2 glass =/
B. If i could afford that price for the mp40 lol (assuming they came out with the redesigned mp40)
