I have gone back to the lfs twice today. I have never had a powerhead in my tank and it has been up and running for about 3 weeks. I have a 46 bowed tank with about 55 lbs lr and ls. I have a fluval 304 canister filter and am going to soon get a protein skimmer. I want to set up a powerhead and get this thing ready for a reef setup (originaly it was going to be fwolr). I bought the Aquaclear 301 and it is causing like a whirlwind around the tank and I have 2 damsels in there now and they are petrified of it. Is this normal for it to be this strong. It's almost like a whirlwind in the tank...thats the best way I can describe it. It's the bowed tank so eventhough it's 46 gal it has less surface area. I don't know if I need the lower model powerhead, there is only one model down from this one. I am assuming that during feeding time it gets shut off. Last but not least, on the box the 301 says it is recommended for tanks up to 30 gallons. What should I do? Thanks
