    Best Powerhead with Venturi (air)?

    For me, it's still an issue with seal integrity. Additionally, that removes the "extra" sponge filtration (which *does* help). Doesn't seem like it should be so difficult to find something that will suit my needs.

    Best Powerhead with Venturi (air)?

    Considering it's a ~$300 filter, that's definitely not going to happen.

    Best Powerhead with Venturi (air)?

    It's not surface agitation that I want (actually, the large bubble discs I have provide more than enough surface agitation). I have the powerhead submerged and the diverter flap angled down. This provides aeration, water movement, and helps to "churn" debris from the bottom, making it that...

    Best Powerhead with Venturi (air)?

    I've looked at the AquaClear, so far had the MarineLand (Pengiun 1140 & Maxi), the Cobalt, and most recently, the ZooMed - I like the rotational function of the ZooMed, but the diverter flap kept falling off, and the flap on the Cobalt was WAY too loose and would just flatten out (& the Maxi is...

    Ok, I have tried several different powerheads so far, and all have been equally pathetic in the air department. Not the draw volume (that's low on almost any of them, so I use an actual airline), but the fact that all of them have the airline go INTO a receptacle. With that configuration, the...

    Controlling Phosphates

    Hello all! I have recently added some live plants to my LOW (0.005) brackish tank (90gal) - just java moss mostly, and a purplish moss that has inundated my LFS - they can get rid of it fast enough, and I can't seem to keep it in the tank long (*something* is just gobbling it up!). The LFS has...
