Get 2x Hydor Korlia Nanos

I've heard good things about the powersweeps, but require quite a bit of maintence. They are said to jam often.

I had a powersweep when they first came out. Mine hesatated badly like it was jamming up strait out of the box. Might have been an issue they have fixed since then. That was 4 or 5 yrs ago.

Thank you, everyone. I decided to go with the Hydor Koralia Nano, since I have all Hydor Koralia powerheads in our other tanks.

Good Choice
The Zoo Med, while it works would require constant cleaning to keep it going back and forth
