Movement Of Water

[onebto]

Hello everyone as the info below states I have a Juwel Trigon 350 with additional fluval 405 external filter.

But I want to increase the movement of the water in the tank I see the best way of doing this is with a power head of some description but as of yet I have not really researched them so can anyone recommend a good one? Preferably one that sticks to glass with suction cups.

Why increase the flow I hear you ask? My 8 clown loaches is the simple answer they like water to move a bit and at the moment the tanks flow rate seems a little slow.

I look forward to your insight, thoughts and recommendations.

Regards onebto.

Pretty much any brand will do the trick, aqua clear ones work well from my experience but even the cheapy halia branded ones work suffiently enough

the hydor koralia is one of the best on the market, loads of water movment for very little power.

Would completely agree. Ive got 6 koralia powerheads of different sizes I have used in my marine tanks for over a year and they have great wide stream water flow rates with very little power usage.

I also highly suggest aquaclear PH. They also have a quickfilter attachment for added filtration. Can't go wrong with an AC70 powerhead w/ quickfilter. 400gph (and I believe its 150-175gph in reverse flow)

Thanks to you all for responding you can always rely on TFF and its members

I think I am going to opt for something like a Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6025 as I want to be able to vary the depth of the power head as the trigon 350 has a decent depth and I have plenty of flow on the surface.

or maybe the Hydor Koralia 1 Circulation pump 400 GPH I am not sure money comes hard but is lost easily so a little more research before the purchase.

By the way anyone used Charter House Aquatics? (UK based) I hear good reports only and it looks like there prices are quite competitive Just checking to see if there is a flip side to there service?

Anyway thanks for the feed back so far

Yeah the Tunze pumps are also very good. Not sure on charter house as I have never used them.
