:rasp: Just put the order in for a powerhead. Hopefully I can get my P's swimmin around more. The price I got from BigAls was about one sixth of the price the local pet store here in town was trying to charge me.

Yep BigAls is cheaper than most LFS. Which powerhead did you order?

 

[LouiCypher]

Penguin 660 - 170 GPH. $36.95 after shipping. Petland here in town was trying to charge me $175.00. What do you think, will it do the trick in a 55g?

 

[sccavee]

It maybe a little low on the GPH but try it and see. Powerheads are trial and error as some Ps love them and others don't.

I think you will find that the gph is way to slow.

 

[FeederFish33]

rios are the best powerheads. and that gph is too low. you should ask us first. Thats what I do before I order something. Rios are cheaper and more efficient.

 

[LouiCypher]

Well Ok then, I can cancel the order no problem. Tell me, what do I need? Remember I don't need it for filtration, just current.

 

[LouiCypher]

Ok, order cancelled. What do I need. Not too expensive.

I got the AQUACLEAR PRO POWERHEAD 4 on the clearance page from BigAls. It was $19 US dollars. You may also want to look at the AQUACLEAR 402 many people are using that powerhead and it is also $19 US dollars.
