Circulation Pump/Powerhead in Sea Horse Tank

Thinking about putting in a Circulation/powerhead in my 48 gallon bow tank. Any suggestions on makes and models? Thanks

I can't advise on more modern powerheads as mine are all more than 2 decades old (Hagen 802's) and haven't needed replacement.
What I would suggest though is to use more than one so it's easier to keep dead spots from occurring.

I have been doing some research and think that I will be going with the Hydor Koralia Evolution Circulation Pump 600. I like all the features and I think that it will suit all my needs!

I use little rios as they are very resonably priced, very reliable and small so can be discreetly placed so as to not detract from the tank's appearance. The guards on them are good to keep pony tails out of harm's way too.
