Pico Powerhead?

[Cichlid-Man]

Need some suggestions on powerheads for a 2.5gal tank. Just need some extra current to circle around the back. Nothing really strong and something thats fairly compact and wont take up much space. Any suggestions?

Only idea i have right now is a Rio 50, though i can't find those flow direction attachments anywhere...Open to any and all suggestions though.

i have a rio50, never put it in cuz its kinda big. never thought I needed it either. and those flow direction attachments come with it.

Thanks for the input. I might get one and try it out. I think i can squeeze it in somewhere.

i got the rio 80 since it has more flow and doesnt uses a lot of power. mine came with a flow limiter.

and yeah its pretty big...i tried to isolate it and use tubing but not luck yet...

tunze has the really really small pump but it seems that its only in the UK right now...

Which pump is it?

Aquarium Water Pumps & Powerheads: UL-Listed Mini•Jet Pumps

I have used those guys, they work fine, get clogged every once in a while so you scrub it with a tooth brush, and they are extremely small/compact.

Awesome thanks aresgod. I need a few other various things too so being able to order it all from one place is a plus.

Thanks again.
