This is the powerhead I have in my display tank (90 gallon)



I have the 3400gph model. I like it a lot. I'm thinking I'll get one for my 50 gallon low boy frag tank too. I'm going to have a mixed frag tank. Should I get two of the 1058gph or one of the 3400 gph? Or should I get something else entirely?

I'm not familiar with this particular powerhead, but if it is working well for you, then it should be a good option!

My opinion would be to go with 2 smaller gph powerheads rather than one bigger gph powerheads. Two powerheads are easier to position to create different flow patterns than one big powerhead that would only give a constant linear type flow.

This does a great job but you have to feed her. She works for peanuts
