Powerheads don't pump air, they pump water. You put them in your SW tank to create flow.

ok so is there ne thing like the magnetic things i see all the time that you can just put in the tank and plug them in and it creates flow or do you need a sump?????

powerheads can be held on to the wall of your tank by magnet or suction cup. you dont need a sump to have powerheads. a powerhead is a pump that you plug in and it sucks water through one end and blows it out the other end
