New Tank

[peter22UK]

ok so i am getting a 350 litre tank

it will be filtered using 2 fluval 205 external filters

Firstly...am i right in thinking these wont create much water movement in the tank?


secondly..... as i think the above filters may leave my tank quite stagnant looking....could someone recomment a suitable sized powerhead?

Hi,
If its just water movement your after Pete, then use one of the Hydor Koralia pumps that the salties use. They come in a range of sizes and are cheap to run.

I dont think you'll hear it over the 2 externals. LOL
They're pretty quiet really.

Another vote for the koralias. I have been pretty impressed with the changes they brought to my tank. They move a lot of water, and it's somewhat directional, but they really give the fish a "river" current to surf/play in. It really added a lot of life to my tank. And they are pretty quiet, almost soundless.
