Whats a good powerhead for my setup with a lionfish?

[waltddp]

I need some advice on what powerhead(s) i should buy for my setup. 75g tank, aprox 80-90lbs of rock half tufa and live. I have one 8" volititan lion in the tank. I have one aquaclear 300 for a little water movement and that seems to be enough for the lionfish to handle cause he doesnt stay in that area very long. There are some dead spots in the water so i want to get some water flow but at the same time i dont want to make the lion unhappy with too much water flow cause he seems okay with the setup i have now.

Do lions get stressed when theres too much current?

not sure how stressed they get but you could use some small powerheads. in my 20L I use a mini jet 606 that way i dont have a bunch of flow

The Ehiem Aquaball is, from what I've heard, the best powerhead out there. Smaller than most for the power, and quiet. I don't have one, I have all Maxijets, which honestly tend to peter out after a year or so. Still works, just at about 2/3 or even 1/2 of what it should be, even when fully cleaned.

IMO aqua ball stinks. i threw mine away after a month. they get clogged easily. every time you clean your tank you have to clean the aqua ball to.

Hmmm, stephen, I'll keep that in mind!
