Powerhead suggestions

Hi everyone,

We have a 22g long tank (odd size I know) that we are currently using a Maxi Jet 1200 for. This is way way too much current for the goni that we have in the tank regardless of how many positions we place it. Would a 400 be ok - haven't used one yet so I am not sure about the current it puts out, or is there any other small powerheads that would work will in this tank. It is 29"x12"x15".

Re: Powerhead suggestions

i'd recommend you stick with maxi jet. great pump. not sure about going down to a 400, i'd suggest at a minimum the 600. if your buying on-line the damage won't be to bad ($14.99) if you figure that's to strong or not strong enough.
