Powerhead help please

I have an 80 bow 48"
It is slowly becoming a reef tank and I hope to keep corals and maybe an anemone.
Any suggestions as to the best submersible powerheads as far as gph and how many total?
Important to me stuff...quiet, submersible, small in overall size, run reasonably cool, directional would be nice and did I mention quiet?
Price is not my biggest concern but I don't want to get silly.

Check out the Koralia made by Hydor. I have two of the #4 for my 75G. they are great and quite. Sounds like what you are looking for.

I'd say the Koralia's, they have a wider flow spread being a prop pump, use very little electricity, they are kind of big looking to me though, check them out. The Zoomed rotating kind will eventually break,IMO, so don't waste your money on that. Tunze is high dollar stuff if that is what your looking for.

I am using the koralia's and like them alot. You'll like the bell shape of flow.
Can angle and direct the current where you like, and with the magnet on the back you can place them wherever you want in the tank. Be sure if you get a 2 or 3 it reads NEW on the front of the box. The older ones had a recall. #2=650 gph, #3=850, #4=1200. 2 and 3 are the same size, but the 4 is large.
