    Hi

    Well i just drove over 30miles to a fish shop and brought 2 kyodor nano powerheads, got home and realised it ses on the box for aquariums up to 60litres... my tank is around 100litres...

    Would it be worth going back and getting 2 of the next size up ones? or would these do the job still?

    Thanks

    I myself would go back and get the next size, but that's just me.

    Depends on how much water movement you want. It's better to have 2 smaller powerheads than one big powerhead.

    And me too,I don't think you'll be happy with the nanos,best to exchange them now and not lose any money,except for gas.
