Hi, i am after a powerhead to add oxygen to my 240l discus tank, the tank uses an externa fluval 306 filter.
I see that a lot of these powereads come in different flow rates and recommended for different tank sizes, but i have been looking at the all pond solutions ones and the 1000l/h says its only for a 180l tank which is less than mine, but looking at a review on youtube of t, the flow looks very powerful, and i dont want to scare my discus, the youtube vid for it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKb-tAd0z5Q
or would i be ok getting the 600l/h model if i only want to add extra oxygen next to my filter?
i have also seen a eheim powerball 650 but it didn't say what tank size it was for so wasn't sure about it?
also are they generally noisy or are they ok?
can anyone help at all please?
thanks
james
