Anyone using pp-20's in their 150?

aquamann183 · 03/02/2017, 06:24 PM

I'm setting up a 150, I believe it's 72"*18"*27". I'm in the process of filling up the tank, and I just turned one of the pp-20s on the lowest setting, seems pretty extreme. I bought 2 for the tank and the tank is about 3/4 full at the moment. Anyone using them in their 150? I think I'll forsure have to keep them near the surface and maybe just use 1 and then another smaller power head.

Your better off using two powerheads vs one in a 6' tank. Just keep them on a lower setting.
