    Default Power heads

    Hi guys,
    I have a few questions regarding power heads and what is the best power head. My tank is 6 foot high tech planted with little to none water flow on the last 3 foot of filter outlet.
    Firstly how much water flow do discus like?
    Secondly im looking at the Maxspect Gyre Generator (35w) what do you guys think of it? Do you know anything better?

    Thanks in advance

    I have used a powerhead in the past, and when I removed it, the discus were none-the-wiser, lol. How are the discus acting currently? Do you feel you have dead spots?

    I dont have discus currently in the tank, i dont think the co2 is getting to the other side of the tank also i think theres some dead spots. If you look at the top you cant see any water movement
