Aquarium Powerhead Videos

The wait is over because this week BRS names the best powerheads of 2019! Find out who's who among the crowd of pumps and get the perfect solution for internal water flow in your reef tank.

Through the years we have seen the VorTech pumps evolve into a quieter, smarter and more efficient option for water flow in your reef tank. Ryan shares the top three reasons our staff and BRS customers alike prefer this powerhead over any other option on the market.

Do corals really grow faster in higher flow environments? We put this theory to the test and are ready to share the results in order to find out if increasing the internal flow rate inside your reef tank will really result in faster coral growth.

This is the first episode of our next a BRStv Investigates experiments in which we examine how much water flow is ideal for a reef tank to optimize coral growth. Healthy growth not only satisfies our desire to create lush aquatic gardens but also is the best indicator of the overall metabolic health of the corals we care for. The Experiment Tweaking aquarium powerheads almost to the point of obsession is common among reefers looking to optimize coral growth and health. We set up two sets of test tanks with different flow environments to narrow down the ideal flow range for coral growth. Our plan is to compare the growth from each tank to see which one performs best. We have four Red Sea E-170 aquariums that are 45 gallons each. Two of them are outfitted with two EcoTech Marine Vortech MP10 pumps each to create a lower to mid level flow range. Both pumps are set at 100% power with a maximum flow rate of 3000 gallons per hour (GPH) each and
