Power Heads - Best Worst

[maxalmon]

Whats everyone using and why did you pick the brand? What do you consider the most reliable or best? Anyone have Maxi-Jet's

From all I have read and off all the peeps I have spoken with, Maxi-Jet is by far the best.
I have 3 in my 55g and Have never had any problem with them.

Have 4 Maxi-jet 900's in my 75, no problems...except my temp is too high.

The absolute best powerhead would be the Tunze, but they are very pricey needless to say. Behind the Tunze, I would suggest Seio(much cheaper, but not as nice and you can't but them on a controller). The worst would probably be Rio IMO.

I agree, most people recommend maxi jets but I personally have NOT had good luck with them.

Yep, lots of people don't like Rio's.
