powerhead

I am currently planning out a 20g long lps reef tank to replace my 10g. I want to take it a step up and get better equipment. First off, I don't know whether a pair of Kessil a80's or an AI prime hd would be a better fit. I haven't been able to find any other lights in that price range that...

Hey R2R community. Getting back into the game after a long absence. Admittedly the last time it was FWLR, and we are going mixed reef now. We are having a custom tank made two fit a specific spot, it will be peninsula with a divider wall on one short side, 40x19x24 high, roughly 80 gal. I need...

Hi everyone, so I've set up a little betta tank as an amphipod culture tank but the powerhead that the internal filter comes with is obviously designed for freshwater; I was wondering, is it really such an issue to use a pump that likely has a stainless steel shaft for marine purposes? The pumps...

My tank is 150 litres and the Powerhead I have is 3000l/h I have two clowns but I think it might be to strong? what one would you recommend I get?

Hello everyone, I have a 20 gallon aio which currently has 2 clown fish, one astrea snail and one fighting conch. Recently (a month ago) I changed the powerhead to a MP10 from Maxspect Gyre. A few days after the introduction, my tailspot blenny died. I have tried introducing 2 fish (white lined...

Got my Nero 3 back from AI yesterday. They told me the controller was faulty and replaced it. Got home from work today to find the pump not running. Tried to re set, checked the pump for blockages and made sure the propeller was moving smoothly, can't connect it to the app unless I connect...

Hey everyone, I have about a 7 week old Waterbox 20 and wanted to get a little more flow in the tank. I've been trying to get ahold of a Nero 3, but it's impossible and my local shops are saying they're back ordered a couple months. I have the opportunity to snag a Nero 5, but not sure if that...

Please let me know if have one for sale

Hello fellow saltines, These are my last newb questions for the night. :-) 1. When looking at powerheads, wavemakers, circulation pumps, etc is there a way to know if it's AC or DC? I've been looking at powerheads on Amazon and it doesn't necessarily mention this on the page other than...

I just installed 2 eflux current 1050 gph powerheads. Currently have them set to gyre mode at 70% My hammer retracted completely after turning the powerheads on so worried it might be getting too much flow. Nothing else seems affected

Hi just cleaned my power head for first time….. when I’ve put it back in tank it’s turned red it places. Any ideas? Just used hot tap water and brush to clean..

I have a Red Sea max nano that’s a very mixed reef. Right now I have the stock pump and one Nero 3 powehead on 20-60% facing different directions. Should I get a second Nero 3? I don’t like the look of so much of the glass being blocked and the cost is a factor. Also worried about too much flow...

I know coral enjoy the flow during the day time, but what about night? Do we lower flow for them? Do we lower flow for the fish to sleep? I know reefers didn’t worry about this when controllers weren’t a thing, but I’m curious where it stands and what everyone does.

I have a maxspect xf230 with controller looking for 150 shipped

Hi all, I'm fairly new in the hobby and I would like to ask for some advice regarding flow for a peninsula 527L-140Gallon. As this is probably sth pretty personal regarding aquascape, sandbed and livestock I'd love to hear your opinion looking at my tank photos below. I'm really struggling if...

Currently i have a hydro 240 in my tank and that is it. I feel like this is not good enough for the tank. I want to add a more controllable powerhead and think the AI nero 3 would be a good fit. Is this to much for my tank or should i be fine? Fish list. 2 Clowns, 1 Royal Gramma, 1 Diamondback...

Hey guys, looking for either an MP10 or MP40 in good condition. Would prefer MP40 but a 10 would also work for my lagoon. Will trade some corals for it, mostly Euphyllia like Indo golds, hellfire, Highlighter for example. I’ll take pictures tomorrow once everything is nice an open but here’s...

MP40QD for Sale This was my backup MP40 as it was in my tank for about 6mos to 1yr in order to be a slave pump but never got it figured out and frankly my tank couldnt handle 2 mp40s so it wasnt much used or needed. Took it out of tank and cleaned it and it has sat as backup. Ecotech sent this...

Selling two brand new in box MP40QDs $350 each and one spare wet side $75. Decided to go another way with my tank. Prefer local Connecticut pickup. Located in Litchfield county. - SOLD.

Pair of Reef Breeders RP-M’s, both work great just not working out like I wanted. Bought new through Marine Depot the end of February, put into use in March and taken out a month ago. Like new, just came out of 48 hours of citric acid bath and cleaned spotless. Prefer to sell them as a set...

I currently use an AI Nero 3 for my 25 gallon peninsula AIO. I am seeing some dead spots since my scape is a cove style, and some detritus builds up there. The wavemaker also channels the flow too much and blows the sand out of a corner until it’s bare. I’m wondering, would using a gyre...

Hey all, I just purchased a Red Sea Max Nano, it’s a 20g AIO cube. The display is roughly 62L/16.5Gallon. I’ve finally decided on my powerhead, and decided to go a Nero 3. From what I’ve found, most people run a Nero on a tank my size at roughly anywhere from 2%-20% capacity. Just would like...

Hello, I am asking $85 with free shipping. 1 x Pump 1 x Controller 1 x Power Supply

So one of my xenia frags came off and got sucked into powerhead and completly shredded. i removed what was left out of powerhead. Water wasnt cloudy looked ok. Fed fish they fine. Everything else seems ok. Should i be worried about a crash and or a xenia outbreak??? I have a Nano waterbox 10...
