Power heads some advise if you would be so kind
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:53 am
Firstly greetings to you all and I hope this post finds you all well.
To business I have A Juwel trigon 350 which has an internal pump set 1000 with a fluval 405 for additional filtration, Sand substrate some bog wood with lots of hidey wholes and caves for the loaches.
Stocking:
8 clown loaches (all quite young) largest Maggie (well i think she is female) is about 2.5 inches the rest are between 1 and 2 inch.
4 honey gourami, 10 cardinal tetras, 5 Prastilla tetra, 8 Panda cory, 5 glow light tetra and 4 Platys.
Eventually in about 2 years time when we move my intention is to get a long river type tank as I am well aware that 350 litre tank is not ideal for clown loaches especially when they get bigger but for now I want to do everything I can to make life as enjoyable as possible for my fish especially my beloved clowns.
So here is the question the 2 pump systems produce a fare bit of flow round the tank but I am wondering about getting a power head of some description to up the flow in the tank.
Do you think this is a good idea?
Can you recommend a decent power head to me? Preferably one that sticks to glass with suckers.
I look forward to your thoughts in sites and recommendations .
