3s1k Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 What powerhead would you recommended for under $25 for 10 gallons? I was going to go with the Hydor Pico 180 but read a lot of bad reviews. I was thinking of going with a Hydor Centrifugal 200gph but I'm not sure the difference between a regular power head and a centrifugal. Anyways what other Powerheads would you recommended for a Pico tank. Link to comment
Ranjib Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Only thing I could find usable is hydor Pico evolution (albeit all the glitches) And ATO pumps. They don't have much gph, but being dc pumps, you can use them as wave makers. I use them for 3g picos. Might be little too slow for a 10g tank Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Take a look at some of these options, see what you think: https://premiumaquatics.com/products/maxijet-400-pro.html https://premiumaquatics.com/products/maxijet-600-pro.html (Ithink I used one of these in a 10g in the past) https://premiumaquatics.com/products/maxijet-900-pro.html Link to comment

Had to clean it out when it get noisy but otherwise no problem for me. Link to comment

Not sure I'm getting enough flow the way it is right now. My zoas are open so maybe there is. Link to comment

I love it so i bought a 2nd unit as backup but never need to use it yet. Link to comment
