Ya i know what your saying just im really worried that it wont have enough umph... i dont want any other powerheads.. and i dont have the money if i ---- this up... Im so confused i wanna do mag 5 but what if its not enough... and uhh im fustrated and annoyed and im upset.. My other tank has terrible green algae blooms everyday.. and uhh.. I dunno It has to go 4 feet up now.. but i just dunno..
Im so stressed and uhhh

relax bro. you cannot hurry. your gonna be alot in stress in this hobby. just get the pump if anything get a ball valve to slow it down with the mag 7. i think mag 5 is better tho. lets wait and see
