    Maxijet powerheads?

    I am looking for PH for my 36 & 46 gal. I've gotten suggestions for maxijets. Are the 1200s too much flow for them? I have sand and I understand too much flow can cause cloudy water. Any other suggestions? I don't have any coral right now but will probably add some down the road.
