Looking to replace the aquatop junkpile that burnt out on me..I have it set to swoosh the tank several times a day. I am looking for recommendations for a small powerhead to replace it that has enough power to move some water and is reliable.

Is the MP10 to large for this tank? I like what it does but want something that is easy to hide behind a piece of rock and doesn't blow the lid off my tank.

Thanks for any help!

it was a pure SPS tank. so in an 8g you would most likely dial it down to the fullest if its a mixed reef...

koralia also makes great nano powerheads..

Koralia does make good powerheads. I run the 240gph in my 14 gal biocube so it would be great in yours.

I will take a look at those..The MP10 is awesome but adds some redundancy since I have an RKL set up to intermittently make waves through the daylight cycle.
