    Just curious if I should use a power head or two for my FW Planted Tank? I have a 72G Bowfront. Sump and Marineland 350 bio filter. I just don't know if the return and the hob filter will give enough current to my tank.

    i like more current in a FW tank as long as the plants stay put and dont get caught in the propeller I dont see why not.

    I believe 2in10 has the 75gal FW high tech planted tank. From the FTS I see some Koralia PH in his photos, might want to PM him for advice
