I got one for my fish tank to move more water, however I was hoping it would provide aeration too like my other powerhead I have. If anyone knows anything about this type of powerhead, i'd be interested in knowing if it is supposed to produce bubbles or not.

Thanks!!! :dance2:

are you looking to increase gas exchange?
if so the added circulation may create more turbulance at the surface which will increase off gassing of CO2 and uptake of 02.
you don't need bubbles to accomplish this.

I guess you could say that. I just think the bubbles add a neat effect too. The powerhead does cause more water movement at that top, but I was hoping it would move the water surface a little more then what it is currently doing.
