I was thinking about starting a !0 gal hillstream tank but I'm not sure what size of powerhead I should use to create enough current for them. I was thinking about getting a 127 GPH powerhead but I'm not sure if that will be enough. Any suggestions?

!0 = 10?

I have sewellia lineolata in my 46 BF tank, and all I use for flow is the AC 70 filter at max flow. I also run an Emperor 280 filter, but there is not much flow from that, other than surface flow. The flow from the AC70 runs deep into the tank. I guess it works pretty well since they have spawned for me once earlier ! Good luck.

That's awesome that you got them to spawn! Well I bought the powerhead and now I'm gonna see if I can make some sort of underground filter for it. Oh and sorry about that first post. I meant 10 gallon

are you using a manifold? If so, I'd do two smaller powerheads so the flow will be more even.
