I'm looking to replace my two powerheads from Seio 620's to somthing else as these don't seem to be working well in my 3' tank, in your opinion what's better than these ?
I've been using Tunze Nanostreams, but I'm at the end of my tether because the bloody mounting clips keep breaking. A friend recently bought a couple of Hydor Korallia and thought highly of them, so that's where I'd look

I use Tunze and all 3 of mine broke!! Told my LFS and they said a bad batch was made and give me some new clips. New ones are as strong as a ox :D
I'm planning to use 2 Koralia 4's in my setup. Recommended by my LFS.

I have 3 Koralia #4's and 1 SunSun (cheapy from a certain auction website that actuallly works just as well). I like the Koralias because they do push out a good flow, but I paricularly like the long leads on them!!! It makes life so much easier.

Tunze Streams. Been running for two years without a hitch. I clean them every once in a while, mainly to remove calcareous algae from the grills but that's about it. They might be a bit too much in a 3 footer though you can adjust the flow very easily. They're even better with a multi controller.
In my 24 gal nano I have a Koralia 1.This is only because it was the talked of, a lot on here when I set up at Christmas.Might be changing it soon,due to a few problems with it.

tunze nano stream 6025 in my 55cm cube (130lts)
it seems great ,they had instructions in the box about being VERY careful with the clips when assembling,so i had a warning...hopefully they don't break down the track....
I've got nano streams and koralias - nanos look better but I have had a one broken clip (replaced for free) and one of the koralias ceramic shaft broke twice - i prefer the tunze hth

I have been using the normal Koralia's (a 3 and a 4) and never had an issuew ith them as some people seem to have, but may go with Tunze 6000's in the new set up. I had been thinking about the new controllable 12v Koralias but with the cost of them with a wavemaker its a no-no. :(
Got 2 Vortechs, very limited positioning but nice wide cone of waterflow.
