Aqua Clear 70?

Is this the proper-sized HOB for a 27 gallon cube tank? I'll also be using a protein skimmer.

 

Thanks!

the filter is fine for media, not so great for water flow. you will still need some kind of power head.

 

There are many options for power heads and the pros and cons can be debated with no end in sight. A simple, cheap , reliable solution is a maxijet or aqueon powerhead. More expensive options exists and their benefits can be debated.

 

I have run aqueon power heads on a wave maker and was happy with them. I now run mp10s and am extremely happy with them, the over all difference in 'tank quality' is not apparent but aesthetically the MP10 is nicer.

I'm also planning to use a powerhead. I just want the HOB to hold media -- I wanted to know if it's adequate in that respect.

 

PS...I've spent a lot of time in SW Montana, mostly around Dillon. Incredible landscape.

using it on a 30g quarantine.. it's more than sufficient for this tank.

Yes I used it on my 20 and 50 gallon with a powerhead. You just need to use a powerhead to get the desired flow.
