I Have a 55 gal with an AC 70 HOB. This is a freshwater setup with mollies, guppies, platies, dwarf gourami, bolivian ram and some tetras. Im looking for a powerhead that will help circulate the water without causing to much current for my fish. My objective is to keep the other side of the tank cleaner and help keep the top of my substrate (silica sand) cleaner. I dont want my poor fish to be blown around like ragdolls in the current though. Just something strong enough to keep the substrate surface cleaner and keep my fish happy. Will also add a quickfilter on powerhead to help filter and prevent my little fish from getting sucked up.
I was originally going to get an AC 70 powerhead (400gph) but am now thinking it might be to strong of a current. I know they are adjustable flow wise but not sure of just how much flow control it gives u. I mean, I have no idea if u can adjust it down to around 100gph or if the max adjustment is something like 300gph. Adjustable is great but not knowning the range of adjustability is a problem. So now im thinking AC 50 powerhead (270gph). A local store has AC powerheads on sale for 40% off for the rest of the week so im trying to figure out which one to get before the sale is over. hehe
Any suggestions? Anyone have a similar setup? Any info/help is appreciated.
