I was looking to get two powerheads for my 46g tank. I found the Aquaclear on ebay. I was looking at the aquaclear 70

I was having problems finding big powerheads. I have read here that many people like the maxi jets. However, I haven't found enough big maxi-jets since I am going for 20x flow rate.

Is the aquaclear 70 powerhead a good piece of equipment? If not, any suggestions (keep price in mind please)?
 
Dude, that is the coolest little thing ever. Slightly out of my price range. I am graduating in August. I already have a job waiting. But, I dont want to go in debt too much before I graduate.

Does maxi jet make some big enough so that I dont need like 4?
 
Thanks. That looks really good. Are they suppose to work real well? Should I get one or two to possibly spread the movement out (like one on top on one side and one on bottom on the other to get a rotation going)?

i just ordered two a few hours ago...so i wont know first hand...but from what ive heard form others they are great. you just want nice flow around so 2 with another main pump should be great
