In my 6x2x2 filtration wise it seems fine, but I'd like a bit more in the way of water movement/current..

What kind of power head strength do i need?
 
Im not expert but i guess it depends on what fish you keep.what have you got in there? do they like a lot of flow? i would base my powerhead power on that.hope that helps, im no expert (im 15) so wait for some other guys 2 reply, i dnt want 2 kill ur fish lol.Matt
 
Got any extra pumps laying around? You could drop one in the tank to see how the fish like it (if it's too strong put a 'T' & valce on it to bypass some of the water.

If not, a 150gph-180gph gives a nice current.

just got some golden barbs, galaxy raboras, sterbai and Clown loaches and some L numbers..


Got no extra pumps laying around, did have one but gave it to a guy at work starting up and he had no equiptment.

i'll check on ebay for a nice 180gph, sounds cool.

thanks dr, you have no idea how many times you save me! if they ever let me into florida i'm taking you out for beers hehe
