Anyone know of decent powerheads at around the $50 range other than Koralias?

Slightly higher than $50 but I really like my Jebao. A WP10 would be around $50-75 and a WP25 about $75-100.

I have two 6095s and they are great.

The 6015 fit into that range. The 6025 will be very close after applying one of this week's many discounts.

The wp25 is hard to beat for the price

But I read that they are starting to break down in less than a year.

I have 2x Sun Sun 800 gph and they move my 75g around perfect - cost me maybe $25 for the both of them on amazon.

I put two sicce voyager 3 pumps in to replace koralias. I run two powerheads on a wave maker and wanted to eliminate the on/off click of the koralias. The sicces are silent as far as I can tell. The bracket is a little bulky but it lets the pumps be aimed in almost any direction. I left the brackets off and have them sitting on the bottom of the tank blowing straight up and two MP40s on the back blowing forward. MP40s pulse, sicces are on/off every 5 seconds. Getting good random flow.
