small power head/water circulation

[pspiegel]

does anyone know of a type/brand of small powerhead for that would give a decent amount of output but would not be too obtrusive in a 14 gallon tank? i bought a small rio but it is still way too big, it becomes the focus of the tank so i returned it.

i am not sure if i need a second powerhead even though.. is there a way to tell? it seems that it is a pretty circular motion with not too many dead zones, however I have heard that a circular motion is not necessarily a good thing (at least for larger tanks).

Thanks!

PH

I dont know if you would need another one. There are alot of sites to calculate GPH but you may be fine with one good one.


There is a lot of hype about the new Tunze Nano PH. It is about $68 which is actually cheap for a Tunze.

It is a new product as far as availibility but is suppose to start rolling in the US in the next week or so.

Those Tunze powerhead were on display at MACNA. Very, very cool!

I have an aquaclear 20 in my 30 gallon that isn't too bad size wise. Maybe you can for for an Aquaclear 10 and try that out for size.

where do you order the aquaclear from? also, is the tunze too powerful for such a small tank?
