Powerhead Question

Ok I have a 30g tank. Currently I have 2 powerheahs, one Maxi-Jey 900 and one Rio-800. Im satisfied with the flow, but not with the powerheads themselves. I am relativly new to the sw world, and was woundering about replacing the two powerheads I have with 2 Koralia mini's. The specs of the ones I found are:
Flow Rate: 240 GPH
Power Absorbed: 3.5 W
115 V 60 Hz
Would this provide sufficient flow ?
Quality?
Any suggestions?
Also I know this is going to sound stupid but the 900 and 800 after the brand name, is that just a model # or a flow rate #?

No complaints. I have 4 #3's in a 125. They move water in more than one direction, thats what makes them good. Then again, those maxi's you have, they do make a mod for them also.

That should be good I have 2 Koralia 1's, and a maxi jet 400 in my 29 gallon, and everything is going smooth. It all depends on how much flow you want.

Something I forgot, you could "mod" your maxi-jet for free and have a better flow. I have a 900 as well and I made the output wider just by cutting it and at the input I added a couple of extra holes so it could take more water in
I found that on youtube
