Hi all, first post, so please be gentle
I'm looking to improve the flow in my tank, in preparation for adding CO2. Tank is 123cm x 38 x 40, so around 200l, and is filtered with an eheim 350T. filter intake is in left rear corner, outflow is via spraybar on the right wall.
I've been reading a lot on here about extending the spraybar across the back of the tank -- tried that unfortunately, the eheim just doesn't put out enough flow to drive that, which left my poor harlequins gasping near the surface after a couple of hours.
So, I could try to rig up a powerhead and spraybar across the rear:
So, are the koralias *just* magnet mounted? or do they have suction cups as well?
Also, does anyone have the dimensions for the koralias?

So, I could try to rig up a powerhead and spraybar across the rear:
- Any suggestions for suitable powerheads for this? Ideally, small and unobtrusive -- I've been trying to keep stuff out of the tank as much as possible...
- Have folks had any problems with build up of detritus in the spraybar? Would a strainer on the intake be sufficient, or would it need a foam block?
