Powerheads

[CrazyFish]

Hey guys give me your option on a type of powerhead you have used and been happy with. I want to get some extra flow in my tank (130). I have use a few, but never in a salt tank.

I'm using two Marineland Penguin 550 Powerheads, rated at 145gph.

They cost $45.00 at Westernfeeds, they are either the smallest or second smallest powerheads Penguin makes, so they go up in price and GPH. It says right on the boxs salt water safe. They are very silent.

Well, I would have to say the first step would be to determine what amonut you would like to spend. For not a whole lot of money the Hagen 802 powerhead will give you 400gph. It would be best to get at least 2 powerheads and aim them at each other to cause some good turbulence and get the water moving to those dead areas.

What about a SQWD - I have one and will be setting it up shortly to run with my sump and skimmer.
