i got this with my tank as a filtration system (FW) and i just wondering if it does the same job as a powerhead albeit not as powerful.
the writing says
litre/h max :3600L/h
water head : 1.8m
i am assuming it is a type of powerhead.
btw my tank is not cycling or anything in it other than saltwater lol
so yeah is this a type of powerhead?
thanks

thanks i though so..... its just it didnt come with a box or anything so wasnt too sure.... i also have a canister filter feeding in from the left should i place the powerhead so it feeds from the right to get circulation? and also is the turn over enough for a 100g tank? or should i get more? btw im looking at having FOWLR

3600 LPH comes to 951 GPH, you want a turnover rate of 10X total volume per hour for your FOWLR (some say more) so thats 1,000 GPH, combined w/your canisters flow that probably puts you over. I go with double that in my system, you make the call. Optimal circulation for tanks is random flow via wavemakers and other gadgets, not sure what the optimum set-up would be for your static flow. :notsure:
