I think ive got the basics down guys from readiung on here and drfostersmith.com but how do they run? Do you just plug them in and the go or do you need to plug them into a pump for them to run? Do they go on a timer or are they on all the time? Let me know, thanks guys!

Powerheads are a pump! All youdo is plug them in and they push water.

If your looking at F&S they have a good deal on three MJ powerheads and a wave timer. You save alot of money on that combination special.
You'll probably only need two in the 29g tank and you can use the other one for water changes.
