Power head

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

Im stilling setting up my 55 for SAP;s that i should be getting soon. Ive got a canister filter, and Im wondering if I should get a power head to help move around the water. The filter doesnt seem to move the water much, not sure if I should have a good current or not for the SAP's

SAPs love current and are very powerful swimmers. Go for the powerhead and set your tank up like a river (powerhead and output at one end, intake at the other). It'll help them burn some energy.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
