Smallest Powerhead?

[CoolWaters]

im making a tank but the return chamber is small.

the smallest and must popular ph i have fine was the rio 50/90 (both the same size).

is there a smaller ph out there? im trying to aim at 50-100gph

Yes, tunze make one that is absolutely tiny, and there are some others too I tihnk. I have the tunze one, and it is nice, very little, quite prone to clogging as the input is so small

i have one aquaclear 20 i think..125 gph max but you can adjust the flow so you can have pretty much from 25 to 125

Model number is 5024.040, here's a link ...TUNZE GmbH High-Tech Aquarium Technology: Catalog[predid]=-infoxunter051

Does that work - little isn't it. I have no idea where to get one in the US.

Hint - if the link doesn't work it's under other stuff, recirc pumps

My mom made me return it...it was a hot day so it was a real pain *SUNSMILE* ...
but on the plus side i saw a acrylic version of the 46g bowfront...

she claims that she'll get me one of thos costco 100g tanks but my dad messed it up for me.

they also got mad that i kept buying stuff online and wasting my money.

so unless i can fine a local store that sells DIY parts for MH im stuck.

the only progress i made was the completion of my 3g pico....

back on track...

the rio makes a lot of noise because of the small space it has.

im planning on using 1/2 PVC pipes instead of of thos Vinyl tubes. 65 GPH really gets cut down when it travels 6" and 2 elbows along with a duckbill deflector....

the good part is my overflow and return chamber flows faster then it gets sucked out.

Another option would be the Micro-Jet powerhead, made by Aquarium Systems...

I use it in my one gallon vase. It's actually designed for amphibian tanks, I think, as it can fountain a small amount of water off only two inches of submersion.

As you're sending it through an overflow you'll probably want something more powerful. But here it is

I've been using mine for almost two years now. Works great, very little maintence I have to do.

the wattage is a little too high...the size is great but the pump im want only uses about 3watt's
