looking for a small powerhead
 
Hey guys, I am looking to get a small powerhead for my 29g. I have a maxi-jet 1200 pushing 295gph. That seems to be a little too strong, so I am looking for a smaller powerhead pushing about 190gph. Anybody have one laying around that they may be willing to get rid of?? Thanks

I might, I will have to get home to check for sure. I know I have a few that are under the 200gph range but not sure if they are around 190. I will let you know this evening.

The problem with MJ's is that they put out a strong narrow stream... You might do better to get one of those hydor mods or different types of pumps with a broader stream pattern... :)

What about the cheap little pump that everyones been group buying from fraggle reef? Would that work & its only 6.99

Thanks guys. Money isn't an issue, just reaching out before I go to buy one. Thanks.

If money isn't an issue, I'd highly recommend the Tunze Nanostream 6025's... I've also heard nice things about the Hydor Koralias, but they're also more obtrusive...

And Seio has come out with prop impeller unit. Quite small and cute:

Hmmm, those look nice... :) Good price for a 500gph pump... I'm going to have to hunt some reviews... I'm glad these smaller pumps have started including the magnets... :D

Don't suppose anyone has picked one up around here???

I got a 1200 with the impeller mod on it, let me know if you want it...lots of flow though.
