Unless they've changed the design, the Powersweep stops sweeping after a while.

Since you seem to be asking a few "is this good" threads. check out http://www.cichlid-forum.com/reviews/ they have reviews for lots of products.

I have read the ones for powersweep before and none of them were very good. it seems this powerhead breaks A LOT.

I have used AC powerheads and have liked them.

Yea, the AC ones and the maxi-jet ones are very good.

AC = aqua clear?

 

[valerie]

yes

they had good reviews on the magnum and some ok and some bad, it was the same with even the "better" brand name canister filters. So i suppose i will give it a try. And when they mean its only good for water poishing, that mean only mechanical filtration? Because it comes with carbon and 2 bio-wheels with the deluxe one
