Where can I find maxi jet power heads

Where oh where can I find these little suckers?
Are two 1200s to much for my 55gal tank? I'll have mostly just LR anf LS for the first few months. After that, I plan on adding a just few little corals and maybe 3-4 small fish- don't know what type of corals/fish yet. (I'm also upgrading to a 100 gal later in the year)
Do the 1200's pulsate? I don't want to get a wave maker.
Where can I get these? All's I see are Rio's at the LFS. From what I hear, I'm staying away from those.
Thanks!

I have one 1200 pointed perpendicular to my return from the sump and one 600 pointed parallel to the return. I allows for some nice circulation, you can see the action when food is placed in the tank. Two 1200's might be a little much but one at the far end of your tank would probably be a good idea. My anthias sit in the stream the heads put out all day catching food that flys by.

Thank you!
Another q though...
I found a LFS that carries them, but they're not #ed like I'm used to IE: 550 / 1200
Instead, these are just ordered for the flow rate I want. So...
Should PH move water 4x the rate of your tank size per hour or the actual amount of water that's in your tank? That would be over 200 gph if it goes by the tank size.
Please let me know!
Thanks!
