    Im visiting the lfs tomorrow to get a powerhead for my tank, the biOrb dosnt exactly need a powerhead but id like too add one to the tank as the waterflow is very good. Is there any powerhead you would recommend for my 60l FOWLR nano tank.

    Thanks
    Conor

    Normally you want 10x circulation rate so if you're 15g you want 150-200gph, if you meant 60g you want 600-700gph, hope that helps!
