it is 20x18x21, i would like a little extra watermovement.... basically dont want minimun but rather upper end without making fish go through water tornado's.

someone on the forums said that the stream was too much which i would agree, but they recommended the "turbelle electric"

is that good? can you please explain how it can replace several powerheads?

I would get a 7200/2 with a single controller. It will replace several powerheads because the outlet is large 1" compared to the 1/2" outlet or most brands. The pump pulses and creates a wave action and it does nearly 700gph. Champion, Premium and Marine Depot have them in stock as do most local dealers.

thank you,
is 700gph from a single source ok? good? i am trying for a relatively easy tank, and clean look without all the ph's everywhere.

It should work just fine, the tank is small so I expect the effect will be like a swirling toilet bowl and with the pulse feature it will be random enough.

I'm using it on my 30g cube with 2 Maxi-Jet 1200 & I plan to add 1 mini-jet 600. I think this rocks.
