Powerhead advice for 55g

[carlitosreef]

I have a 55g display tank. (48" x 12" 3/4 x 20" 3/4) LxWxH
I'm trying to get an idea of 2 great power heads for it.

You may can get away with 1 vortech mp10 in that tank, I have 2 mp10s on my 72 bow. Slowely accumulating them for the 120 build in the future. It will have 2 mp40s one on each side and the 2 mp10s on the back glass. the mp10 may be small but its a power house.

If you don't have the money for those try korilias, hey aqueon has a cool powerhead too. I wanted those before I got the good deals on the mp10s check em out

The MP's are certainly nice. If you want to save the money, go with a couple Koralia's like Smallblock said.

I'd say 2 mp10's - 1 master and 1 slave. With Vortech's you have so many more options than point and shoot powerheads. The expense is high but the return is worth it.
+1 on probably using just one but 2 will be awesome.

@Smallblock - Where did you place your 2 vortechs in your 72 bow?

I might end up buying 2 koralia evolution 1400gph each. For $80 unless I get a better deal for a used powerhead a little better gph here. But I doubt it so well see.
