i have 150 gallon tank, 48X30X24.
i have so far 2, 1150 gph koralia powerhead, but it doesn't look like I have enough flow.
anyone have recommendation on how many and power flow to add?
2 small nem and few fish in the tank, no corals.

I would go with 2x MP40wQD. that would be more then enough and will look clean and low profile. There is no need to add more power heads and do more cleaning then needed.

They are looks good (ecotec) but 330$ for one vs 30$ make big different for me

You will have to spend some money to get a quality powerhead that will move enough water for your tank. You could literally buy 10 Koralia powerheads and they would all produce as much flow as one Vortech or Tunze. You could get on Bulk Reef Supply and look at what they have available but I would advise you to move away from the Koralia

If there isn't any corals, then flow generally doesn't matter as much.

Just add another koralia or two if you want more. They are cheap.

Ecotech and Tunze stuff is really nice, but I can't justify it either....just my opinion.

I think 700$for 2 powerheads is crazy price
