Which powerhead for a 46 gallon?
46 gallon tank with a 185 GPH filter. This will be a reef tank so get one around 800 GPH?
Thanks |

friendly advice....you are better off going with 2-4 small powerheads so the flow will be more distributed.

I agree with the multiple power heads. When I had my 46 Bow that's what I was suggested.

Not sure what a closed loop is, but I just have my glass top, Lights on top and just the equipment that will be going on the inside.

Would you recommend just 2 smaller powerheads to equal the 800 gph I need? otherwise having 4, 2 of them would be in the front 2 corners of the tank.
