klmt Fire Eel MFK Member Jun 4, 2007 1,246 9 68 CT Oct 16, 2013 #1 I've got a native river tank going with some mountain redbelly dace, rosyside dace, a few darters ect... I'm looking to add current to the tank, so I was wondering what size powerhead (GPH) I should go with?

S ScreamingDingo Feeder Fish MFK Member Jul 1, 2013 14 0 1 SW VA/ NE TN Oct 16, 2013 #3 I would go with something with wide water dispersion, like a Hydor Koralia (maybe more specifically a Nano) instead of a conventional powerhead. Moves a lot of water (simulating creek current) without that "jet" effect.
