fowlr tank 180 gallons
water movement- I would like to know is should i get a maxi jet power head for this size tank for water flo or go with something else? should i get 2 maxi jets rated for less and place them at opposite sides of the tank.would i benefit from a wave maker or would that be a waste of money combining with the powerheads?
I also want to know if theres a better product than what im looking at (mp900 maxijet) for this size tank?
what do you guys recomend for flo for this size tank?

Do you have a canister filter that does some return? What rate? I like the PEnguin 300gph, not a very high flow, and just enough, also comes with a strainer on it, so critters do'nt get caught in them. Also, have you thought of buying maybe 2 pumps and running them external split the returns into 4 then not having any powerheads in the tank? Fot the price of $120 you could get 2 Quiet One pumps rated at 1037gph ea, run returns off of them (2 ea split) now you don't need powerheads in the tank.
