How many powerheads in a 250C?

[Trinny]

So, I'm hoping to get some ideas on how many powerheads are appropriate in a RSM 250C? I have fish and corals (hammers, frogspawn, elegance corals, torches). Currently I have the small Tunze Nanostream 6020 and wondering if I should get a second powerhead of some sort? Or even a Maxspect Gyre?

I don't know about in the 250C ....but I run 2 Vortech MP10s along with using the Spin-Streams on the return nozzles of my RSM 250.
Best to find one with ADJUSTABLE FLOW (my opinion) that way you can adjust as you feel needed. "REEF-LIKE flow" is strong but sand storms are not good.
We have to find what works best for our individual tanks as rockscape & sand beds vary.

I also run 2 Vortech MP 10's one on each side.

I run one mp40 in my rsm250 and spin stream on one of my pumps.. Gives decent random flow in the tank.

Thanks for the feedback guys, haven't seen the spin stream before, looks like a great product and even better no additional cables!

I don't run any in my C-250.

All depends on the type of corals. I have mostly SPS and have 3 RW8 jebao pumps at full spead. One in wave mode and the other 2 in Else mode. Plus the standard RSM 250 pumps.
