power heads
I have one gsp in 55 gal tank with an 800 gph power head and my gsp doesn't seem to like it.it's nothing special or high tech i keep it up towards top of tank making waves but the current seems to bother him he stays at bottom of tank or hides in log decor

Re: power heads
I have a power head in my F8 55g that cycles on/off every half hour during lights on and it's only a 170gph. 800 does seem like a lot.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.
Re: power heads
