Hi all,

I like the Maxi jet powerheads, they are robust, easy to clean and last for ever.

After having been through 2 All Pond Solutions power heads, one started spinning backwards other just stopped, I now use a Hydor Koralia 3200 in my Vision 180. It is amazingly so much quieter than the All Pond Solutions one. I have it one= a timer, so on when CO2 is active and it is located on right hand side pointing towards the front.

Is the Hydor Koralia 3200 not to powerful I had the all pond solutions 3000 and it seemed to blow the fish all over the tank I know its a different one but I dont know much about powerheads

Maybe. I have blasted some substrate away once where it drooped downwards after a water change. Generally OK, blows the fine CO2 mist all around the tank.

I got powerhead as I was having CO2 plant deficiency issues, pretty obviously indicated by placing drop checker in the plants and it staying blue when CO2 was on.
