I need buy a powerhead to move the water in a 58 gallon tank. I don't want too much power as the tank is planted, just need to move water somehow.

Any brand and gph suggestion? Thanks!
 
What kind of other filter do you have on your tank? I have an XP3 on my 55 gallon, so I don't need the flow. I just stuffed a Fluval 1 with filter floss to polish off the tank. It makes enough ripples in my tanks for extra circulation without blowing stuff around.
 
I only have an AC 70 HOB. It sits on one side. If lower the water level, it does create a water circulation. But now I have high water level in the tank to avoid losing CO2 diffused from HOB, so the circulation is too slow.
 
I have an AC30 power head in my 36 and my 29. They move the water around nicely. The flow is adjustable and you can get a quick connect filter to snap on when you want to polish your water.
