Need advice on wome new powerhead!

[paintman27]

NJ Reefers. Can you please share your powerhead recomendations with me? I am so done with Maxspect Gyres! They are nothing but trouble and are constatly shutting off. You can clean these damn things every day and they still just shut off. Problem is Ecotech reviews aren't much better. Anyone have experience with the Neros?

No experience with gyres. I’ve been using Tunze power heads for years. Never had any problems with them. Would recommend them if you want ones that will last a long time. I have them 10+ years.

I use hygger and jaebo and had nothing but good results. I wouldn't trust ecotech with anything

What’s wrong with ecotech I been using the mp10s and 40s for years and years never had a problem if I did they would fix them with no problem and Radions too

Also an old ecotech user here, no issues.

Get a Jaebo DMP series off aliexpress . I just got the DMP 40(Bluetooth version) yesterday. $120shipped. You can even get them cheaper depending on the vendor or the size. They also have wifi versions but I didnt have a need for it.
The cool thing about the Jaebo that it uses magnets and suction cups for added support

I have an MP40, but couldn't justify paying X amount for a new one again.
I also paired it with a different guard from a guy on Etsy. Shown below

I've only used mp40s and 10s for years. I currently use 4 mp40s but I added 2 AI nero 7s which I love. Easy to use and easy to clean. Both controllable with mobius.

I’m using an mp10 for about 4 years and I used a nero3 for around 2, I also have a jaebo gyre style but the app it’s not really good. So the mp10 it’s the best from my experience

I have good luck with Jaebo as well.

We have 2 neros running, one in our frag tank and one in our display and we have been very impressed with them so far. All our other pumps are MP40s, we used to have MP60s but they are just so damn big and they always fall down so we just got rid of them. MP40s have their flaws but we will probably always have one or two.

If I ever need new powerheads will be looking at these.

Another vote for Jebao's. I almost purchased two AI Orbits a couple weeks ago. They were 20% off on BRS. I wound up not pulling the trigger. I just couldn't justify spending close to $600 when I can get two Jebao gyres for a little over $200. I know that in most cases you get what you pay for but I haven't had any issues with Jebao's.

47x18x16

The guard is nem protection and better flow angles(comes with 3 types). Its not needed, but worth considering.

I still have to play with postions of the mp40 and dmp 40. Its overkill currently with how I have it set up. Hopefully be able to tinker with it when I get home
