    Hi, I have been using hydor power head 1050, 1150 etc. Hydor power don't last long. I have 4 or 5 of them and they all not working properly. When you bought it working good after a year or so it's start to fail. Sometime not working, you have to unplug and plug it back on or start flow...

    Hi all, I've just started my new 220g up recently, and am in need of a couple power heads for circulation. Have a 45g now that once I'm 'cycled' I'll be moving my treasures over to the new tank.

    I'm in the process of setting up my first SW tank. I picked up a 40G Breeder for my home office (Where I spend about 12-14 hours a day) and am looking to start with a FOWLR and eventually shift to slowly introducing Coral over time. I'm anticipating the initial stock list to be simple, and am...

  15. The THINK Tank
    I have my vortech mp10 for my 110 gallon tank and thinking of adding a second powerhead. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced with both or either one of the two power heads to give me advice. Seeing as Jebao is significantly cheaper I seem to be leaning more in that direction. Any advice...
