Powerheads are a must for any large aquarium whether marine or freshwater.

For your FreshWater aquarium I suggest you attach a surface air tube; most powerheads have a port for attaching one. Without a surface air tube, the powerhead is just going to circulate the water. With a surface a tube, powerheads prove to be excellent in aerating the tank as well, which is of great benefit to life underwater and plants. With a well aerated tank, your fish will be much healthier and wouldnt pick up diseases often, perhaps not at all, if your tank is kept clean as well, incl partial water changes every week.

I suggest buying a powerhead that complies with your:
1) tank size
2)type of fish you are keeping

Please research and ask around(ask someone reliable that has much experience in freshwater aquariums).

All the best

I have 325L Malawi tank. I have a 1000L powerhead in the custom bio filter, a 700L powerhead with filter canister & a bulkly 2000L powerhead which keeps getting noisy & tends to fall lower cause the weight. I also can't get a proper flow with this pump. The sunsun can positioned in many angles from the corner & give a wider flow. I also want move the debris.

There is a S A Reefkeeper 's forum, I don't think I am allowed to give the adee, but they might have had sun sun power heads for sale through their on line store a while back, I am not sure, and if I was I am not allowed to advertise, so I am just rambling.
