    I got a new powerhead for my tank today! I use to have a crappy maxi jet 1200 which was way bulky looking and had too much flow for such a small tank. The new koralia nano that I got is a lot more sleek looking and not so much of an eye sore. The flow is perfect too! I tilted it up as high as it can go and it makes a good amount of surface movement! I also got a new submersible heater since my old one was starting to malfunction. the first picture is of my tank with the old powerhead and the second is of the new. I love it!

    I believe that is the 425 gph one. I just bought the same one for my 40 gallon breeder lol.

    Nice upgrade as mentioned before. It does look a lot nicer lol.

    I have 3 of the 425s for my 29g. This one looks a bit different to me. lol. It must be the 240gph. I thought they were the same size body though, just a different size motor.

    Nice purchase. My first powerhead was a Koralia. Easy one of the best in the business. Just that my seahorses liked to play IN them. So you know it didn't end well for the seahorses.

    Your tank looks great. Full of life.
