Today I decided my 125g needs more circulation......so I added 3 powerheads I had laying around. I cut some AC 70 Foam filters in half and installed them on the intakes for the hell of it. I placed them low in the tank and directed them towards the fluval 405 intake. On the other side of the tank I placed a fluval 4plus in tank next to the 405 outlet to add some cross current towards the top of the tank. I still think I need more current in my tank so I ordered 2 more 800gph powerheads

My PB's were immediately more active and seem way happier.

They have doubled in size in a week and they have eaten almost all of the dithers I put in the tank. Heres some pictures...................

Nice pbass, monsters in no time.
 
Yep they like the water flow for sure...
 
Good quality air pumps with good diffusers are even better than powerheads because they greatly increase oxygen saturation levels in your water.
