WTB Powerheads and Canister Filter

[hclaveria]

I need 2 powerheads rated for ~125gph each.

I also need a canister filter for a 55g tank. I would like one rated for 75g or better.

Thanks.

Not sure what you're looking to do with the powerheads, but 125 gph is unbelievably low flow. In a 55g or 75g tank you might not even notice the flow.

Really? Then i have it wrong.

I need the powerheads for an undergravel filter. It is a 55g tank and thought I needed about 250g per hour of flow. I assumed I can use one or if i had two, lower the flow of each.

If I need to go higher, please let me know.

Thanks.

Is this for a freshwater tank?

No, Saltwater FOWLR.

No, Saltwater FOWLR.

And you're using an undergravel filter?

i have used them in the past and I have one that I can use on this tank. I am not overloading the tank with fish and want to also add the canister for mechanical and chemical filtration.

I have had success with them and i dont mind the upkeep. I know its not the best but i can get 2 powerheads and a canister filter for a lot less than a sump with a pump.

I know I have Ehiems and Fluvals laying around, I will check them out and see what I have.
