fo sho! but really, i have a few, wonderful powerheads.

edit: ebay is much cheaper, i got both my 3's shipped for around $50 i believe.

Yeah I've got a 3 running in my 220 with them pushing water 360 degrees around the tank I wish I would have got a 4 or 5.

Do you guys have any fish with streamers? I'm thinking about getting a 2 for my tank but I have tigs and geo's with streamers. A person I talked to told me that everytime the fish got near the powerhead it would chop the streamers off..

Any experiences with that?

Should not be a problem.

As for fish with streamers, they will learn the hard way.

LOL that's rough and alright just making sure I wasn't waisting money

It uses a propeller instead of an impeller, so I think it would be slightly safer than a traditional powerhead with streamers... Really long streamers may get twisted around the shaft, where a traditional p-head would just cut the streamer off. Either way the fish will learn quickly!
