powerhead

I am thinking of getting a small powerhead for my 14g biocube. What Would be a good one for a good price and should I get one I have only fish and a frogspan in my tank

 

what do you have in there creating flow already Hank?


The Korallia Nano may be a good choice for you
but they put out 1600 lph or 400 gallons per hour
which would be approx 28 times your tank volume in turnover
which depending on placement, might be a bit much for your frogspawn

you may have to mess about with direction of power head, and placement of coral
until you found a calm enough enviroment for it

I would recommend the Mini Jet 606. I have one that I used in my 38 gallon tank from 2000-2004 and now I'm using it in my fuge. You can scale it up or down power-wise and it doesn't take up much room. You might want to rig maybe some magnets instead of the suction cups to keep it from dropping off the wall, though. It's very unobtrusive in size. They also make a Mini-Jet 404, which I use for mixing my saltwater. The 404 is less gph than the 606.

 

Koralia nano or Koralia 1.......I have a Koralia 1 on a 10 gal nano with a torch coral in the tank and have had no problems.

 

Koralia powerheads are the best in my opinion

 

I agree Koralia.. I have owned Koralias for over 5 years now & my original Koralia 2's are still going strong!

 

All i have now is the stock pump I was thinking of the one by Oceanic I want something small so its out of the way and does not take away from the look

 

The Koralia Nano comes in two sizes 240gph & 425gph. Uses 4.5 watts, it is 2.5" in size & uses a suction cup/magnet mounting system. Cost is about $27.00 for either gph pump.

 

Thanks i do like that one and the cost is good

 

They are excellent little pumps.

I have four of them inside my 30 cube and they are very inconspicuous while moving plenty water. Also pretty low wattage draw as well.
