what size power heads should i get?

[cyndl]

i just upgraded my tank from a 44 pentagon to a 75 rectangle tank.i had 2 Powerhead 201's in the previous tank and they aren't doing much for flow in this one. plus one keeps kinking out on me. so i want to buy two new ones. i don't want to have to buy another set for quite awhile, so i'd like to get the ones i need for my future upgrades as well. i will eventually be upgradeing the lights so that i can add corals and anemones. also i'd like to not spend a hundred bucks a piece.
so i'd like to know what size poserheads i need and a brand reccomendation please.
thanks!

I used 2 Hagen Aquaclear 802's(now model 70) on my 75. The MaxiJet 1200 would be another good choice. They both can be had for $20-$30 each...

I run 3 maxijet 1200's on my 60 gal, gives me plenty of movement!

Go with the Maxi 1200's. They are reliable, can be ran on a wave system and don't run that hot. You could probably get away with 2 as long as your return pump is amptly proportioned (10+ turn over)
