A good Power Head
 
I'm currently using a mag 7 drive for my 75 gal FOWLR. It moves a lot of
water for me but the problem is i have it placed on top of a piece of flat
live rock and it tend to move around. I've been unable to figure out how to
mount it so it stays in one place. Can someone please recommend a good power
head for my tank. Thanks

A good powerhead that will create quite a bit of flow (even more than
the mag 7 would be a SEIO 820 or even better the 1100 or 1500. They
work great do not use much electricity and so far seem to be pretty
reliable.

Does yours make a loud hum? I just bought two, and they seem to be a bit noisy.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to

I've seen on marinedepot.com and elsewhere, new magnetic holders which are
supposed to work like the magnetic algae scrapers. Supposed to be adaptable
to about any powerhead/pump. I'm planning on trying a couple when the $$$
are available.
