Starting to order equipment to set up my 5 gal mini-bow, for the power head, how many should I need? and which model and brand is best for my tank? Any suggestion?

Hmm for a 5 gallon? No more than 3 small ones? I think you would be ok with 2 without a hob and 1 with an hob. I have a penguin 550 and a penguin 125 on my 18g and it does a good amount of water movement. I heard maxijet makes some of the best powerheads available, If i get a new one it will be a maxijet 1200. I've seen it water 3' upwards from a sump to a tank.

 

ps: I think i saw them selling them really cheap at marine depot.

2 real small ones (micro or mini-jets) Or you can just split the output to 2 outputs. PVC is a great thing. The more varied the better IMO. Not as uch as the more GPH.
