So I got a powerhead off of amazon to diffuse my DIY and I didn't pay very close attention to how many gph it was. It does 295 and it has brought my turn over to 18.75 times an hour. Is this to much for my plants? My fish don't seem bothered by it. It just seems like it might be to much for a freshwater planted!
 
If it's not blowing your plants over then it's fine. I have some pretty strong PH's in the 220 diffusing my CO2 and I just aimed them so they don't hit plants full on. A lot of my fish actually like the current and play in it.
