Powerhead question

[JOSCAR05]

Hello MFKers and DIYers. I am currently in the process of making a diy wet/dry, and already constructed my overflow. Im looking to purchase a powerhead that is powerful but at a good price with hopefully a review from one of you guys/gals. And its for a 55 gallon tank. Anyone want to chime in? Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to do with it? Run from the sump back to the tank?

Grab a cheap pond pump, I get them from Harbor Freight for two of my tanks. Cheap and do more than enough current for your tank, I think it's the 600 gph and they are less than $40. If they tear up your not out much and you can just replace it, but I've had the oldest one running for 3 years without a problem.

Whats the exact name of the pond pump? Harbor freight is pretty far from where i live.

I don't have it with me, but I'll check when I get home this afternoon and let you know..... It really is just a cheap one though.

This is the one I use on my 110 and my 120, but i don't want a HUGE amount of current on them because of the stock. Should work great on your 55 though. I also looked on ebay and there are a bunch on there that won't break the bank......
