Power Head advice

[joss.gamble]

Hi All,

I've only got a little 28g nano tank and it has purity good flow at the moment using just the standard outputs from the 1000lh pump (outputs are in top back corners) but I'm considering putting a little powerhead into the tank.

What are people's thoughts with a tank this size, and what powerhead a have others used / like in my case?

Thanks all.

It depends, what kind of corals do you want to keep? LPS need lower flow and SPS higher flow. If you go with LPS then I do not think you need anything else but with SPS maybe the Hydor nano powerheads. I would say the Hydor nano power 240gph would work well.

At the moment I only have a few Corals - Duncan, Green Leather Mushroom, red and green war coral and some random Zoas that came on the live rock FOC.

Look into Jebao WP10- controllable.

I've seem the controllable ones, they are a lot more expensive, are they worth the extra cash?

Jebao WP10 about $45.00 and can control how much and style of flow works for you. How much is the Powerhead in England?

At the moment it's between £55 and £60 with a controller, I'd say that's roughly $90 ish?

Fantastic! That looks like it's worth a go! Have you used these guys before? How are they?

Thanks Pete,

I was kind of referring to the shop (sorry, I wasn't very clear!), has anyone ordered anything from them, how was the experience, etc.

:)

Well, I did it! I managed to hunt down a RW4 and controller for £45 in the end!
