I'm setting up a 46g bowfront to house some messy central/south american cichlids. I've decided to go with a Filstar XP2.
I was planning on also using an under gravel filter with a powerhead on each riser. I've noticed that they don't seem to be too popular anymore. I've had one on my 30g for 9 years without any problems and have never lost my cycle.
Should I skip the UG and maybe get an XP3?
I like the powerheads for water movement. Particularly for these messy fish.
How do I use a powerhead without the UGF riser tube. Just suction cup it to the side?
Thanks,
Rob
