Hey! I have a 55 gallon reef and I was looking for a quality powerhead. How many gph should I look for when picking one? There is so many mixed opinions online and it can be a little confusing.

That depends! What kind of coral would you like to keep? LPs? Sps? Mixed reef?

@Nicholas378 1y

Probably a mixed reef but I love the look of high flow

@Bpones 1y

Are you looking for a power head for a return pump or a water mover/wave maker?

A water mover/wave maker
