Hi,
I have a couple of specific concerns and I'd appreciate your help chosing and positioning a new power head.
Current set up
- Tank: 110 x 55 x 60 (340 litres)
- 2 x Eheim Professional 3 (600) 2075 filters (rated at 1250 LPH each) with original media
- 2 x spray bars at top rear, facing to front, each extended by 1 extra piece, so now there's a small gap either end and smaller gap at the centre, otherwise the spray bars almost reach across the whole rear.
- Fire extinguisher injected Co2 via 2 x UP inline atomisers running off a splitter
Now, I did have a 1850 LPH cheapo APS power head pointing across the back, right to left, but I've switched that off, as it always slid down the glass a few inches between water changes and I got scared it might slide down to the bottom and pick up the sand and planting substrate beneath it. I would also rather have it pointing rear to front, but it was too fearce and I think it'd push sand away from the front glass...
So here's my question.
What power head would be good and where should I put it.
My 2 concerns are these.
1) I have a large piece of wood in the way...! See pic
2) I have no "edge" to hang the power head to on the rear glass due to the tank design with glass covers and brace sections etc.
I think a power head with a spray bar set dead centre, just below the other spray bars would be good, but I don't know where to start and it MUST be self supporting if that makes sense....?
Thanks guys...
