reefsrule Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I heard they don't work after a while Link to comment
jellyfish Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I've got one in my 16g AGA...granted, only for a couple of months now, but no complaints so far. It definately sends some pretty good current through the tank. Link to comment
MarineMiLk Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 yeah, i was wondering also because i have the powersweep rated for 160 gph, and i was wondering if its too much for a 5.5g nano? Link to comment
thisanthrope Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 hey art, I use one in my 10 gallon. still going strong after about 8 months of use, needs cleaned alot. if you have to have a PH then I think it should be a sweep. I have it setup to also disperse the outflow of my fuge, mimicking waves as best I can. Link to comment
cookiemn Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 aschamne, from what I have heard is that these PHs will work if they are constantly cleaned. If they aren't they usually stop sweeping. Another issue that I have heard is that they will eventually start to become louder as they get older. I would try them out and see what you think. Personnally I like to use PHs with a wavemaker.

tylernt Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Had some. Hated them. They heated the water A LOT, so avoid them unless you have trouble keeping your tank warm. Also, they started to make a loud buzzing noise after about... oh, three days. Cleaning didn't help, so I destroyed them. Link to comment
