20 long questions

[NoahLikesFish]

here’s the supplement. Also can I afford fish and coral for a 20 long for 150$

 

[NoahLikesFish]

I don’t think I will need one because th hob is like 1/3 the length of the tank. I could put something to split the current into 2 jets

Because we've given you advise, suggestions. You just need to read the thread and research.

I suggest getting a powerhead just to be safe. What you are dealing with does better in high flow than low flow.
With 150 dollars left, that really depends on what you want. For the cheapest fish (gobies, occelaris clowns, which you don’t like) and corals (toadstool leather, Xenia) you should be able to get enough.
But I can drop 150 on an lfs trip for a few frags of common corals (frogspawn, zoas).

I can’t find any powerheads that don’t cost a ton of money that just do like 200 gph

You realize most people wait hours for responses in much more time sensitive threads?

They aren’t cheap. Check chewey.com, they have some good priced ones.

I bought 2 double head off Amazon for 40$ a piece. They blow water around like crazy.

Does this work?

I don’t want something that goes like 2000 gph, I just need like 200-300 to make a random flow

I’m keeping softies and macros so I can’t have a lot of flow.

113 pages of this and im outie. Noah, please slow down and take your time and do independent research. Hundreds of threads out there you can search through.

Reviews are okay and it seems a little bulky compared to a standard powerhead.
If you want to hook up a sponge filter that may raise flow a bit, but corals really need that direct, powerful flow. If you want moderate-low flow look into euphillia.

Softies love flow. Mine close up if they aren’t being hit by at least moderate flow.

Why can’t I have xenia and toadstools with just that pump and my 70 gallon rated hob

 

[Sharkbait19]

We told you before
The flow is not direct and does not create an ocean like current.
Based on the reviews of the pump, it doesn’t seem like a good option despite the cost.

Ok this is what I have now, I don’t want a mini whirlpool in my tank so I had to pay 40$ more for a dc powerhead

I hope that with this I will be successful
