    I have a picked out heater for my 50g FOWLR tank. I dont think its a good one it is a ViaAqua Titanium Tube Heater. Any suggestions? Also i picked out 2 Hydor Koralia water circulation pumps are those any good? I havent bought these yet so i am just wondering if they are worth buying. Someone on here told me that Koralia pumps are really good but they are expensive. These ones are $34.99 each i dont know if these are the right ones. Thanks for all your inputs!!

    That heater is fine. The Koralia's are great. I have 5 in my tank. Are you looking at getting 2 K-3's?

    +1 everybody. Check eBay for the Hydor Koralia Powerheads. I got these. Check them out. Better deal than my LFS.

    hehe right behind you. hehe
    The koralias are great! Like mentioned go with the 2's or 3's. I have 2 number twos and while it's great flow it's lacking just a little. I would suggest one number two and one number 3 if not two number three's.

    The Nanos are not suitable for your tank. The Koralia Nanos are meant for nano tanks -- like 6, or 12 gallon tanks. For your 50 gallon tank, I also suggest going with the K3s. If they are too expensive, buy MaxiJet powerheads instead.
