Hello everyone,
I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank with central american cichlids, I have a new penguin filter rated to 75 gallons, however due to my tank set-up I have to put the filter on the far end of the tank, I am thinking that I may need a powerhead to help circulate the water from one end of the tank to the other. I have looked a lot for articles on powerhead sizing, and can't find anything. I know that the filter that I have is a good filter, but does anyone have any thoughts on a good size or GPH powerhead for my tank? Any information would be helpful. Thank you
Will
