EcoTech Marine has an entry level VorTech (MP20), which should be available soon.
Check it out. Reefcast has a nice podcast interview with the developers.

Keeping cost in mind, the best is Koralia.
As far as best (disregarding cost), EcoTech's VorTech, hands down.

Depending on your needs ,i would put modded Maxi Jet.Who else makes a powerhead that puts out 2100 gph for under $30

 

[nano reefer]

maxijet FTW.

 

[xtreeme]

Maxi-jet 900 and 1200.
Tunze, best for $?????? $100 $300 a power head. You can buy 5 or so mj 1200 for one tunze. They maybe the best perf but not best value.

Maxijets are cheap, highly reliable, non-bulky. Best all round buy, imo.

 

[the egregious]

I would stick woth the koralia's anyday

 

[jaymz]

I just got a maxi jet 900 mod, amazing how much water it pushes.

I agree, I run two on my tank and I've been very pleased.

I been running 4 1200 Maxi jets on a Tsunami wave maker for 6yrs with no problems and just resently put mods on them ..Very reliable and inexspensive and very please with results

 

[grubsnaek]

koralia's

 

[florida joe]

Maxi-Jet

 

[subielover]

I have both a maxijet 900 and a koralia 1 and both work great and were cheap

 

[trippkid]

I have 3 modded MJ's, 2 900's(Sureflow kit) and a 1200(original DIY style), one was a little noisey, replaced the impeller shaft with a carbon fiber one, noise was gone, the other two work great and are basically silent, my vote is for Maxi-Jets(ultra reliable and a little more durable than the Koralia's, IMO).
I have a Vortech too, that thing is the best, I plan on replacing the MJ's with two more when I can afford them. Good luck in choosing which ones to go with if that was the reason for the post.
