What size powerhead?

[charliewww]

Hello all, Im looking for advice on what size powerhead I should have for a 12 gallon eclipse tank. I plan to create a reef tank with corals. Let me know what you are using and how it works. Thanks

I've got the jbj nanocube 12 gallon dx and I put a maxi-jet 900 in the third chamber. It seems to work great.

I have an aquaclear 101 in my standard 10 gallon reef tank. It pumps 80 gallons per hour and can be turned down a little to create less flow

Welp I ended up getting a Rio 180 that pumps 120gph it seems perfect. Much more would would blow the sand all over.

yeah u dont want to much flow or your fish will be pressed up against the opposite wall!
