    Default powerhead for 29g QT tank

    what kind of (relatively inexpensive) powerhead do you suggest I get for my 29 gallon quarantine tank?
    Critters aren't going to be in there for very long so I am just looking for something that will provide some flow. Doesn't have to be pretty or snazzy.
    What kind of gph rating should I get? Ideally I'd really like to just get one (rather than or more) and call it done.

    K1 or OK should be fine. Since u don't do stixs just softies and fish should be OK with those

    I would think about a aquaclear filter, then if needed...add a cheaper maxi powerhead later if you need the extra flow.

    I already got a CPR backpak skimmer on it. Do I really need an aquaclear filter in addition?
    I even have a little bag of stuff in the bakpak for added filtration

    I wouldn't think so, just change the water. Do you need flow for fish or coral?

    Thanks! I had to get some more filtration media and to reach the free shipping minimum I just added a 450 Koralia Nano Evo. Sounds like that should be enough
