power head strong enough?

Hi all

Just a quick question. Will a 450 l/h power head be strong enough to cr eate a moderate current for a 1.2x45x45 tank?
Ive got a power head at the moment.a a 900 l/h but it seems the flow is a bit strong for the fish.

Thanks

 

Hi you could attach a nozzle with 2 outputs instead of getting a new power head

 

Or you could make a nice spray bar for it, it helps to reduce the outflow of the power head.

 

i used a 2000lph in my 4 foot tank but i have ca cichlids in myne depends on what fish a person has, but like hviviers says get a spraybar works good!

 

Yeah spray bars work nicely.

 

thanks guys, I will go with the spraybar option, will normal pvc piping work for this?

 

Yes it would but rather go to builder warehouse and get the plastic pipe they use for irrigation systems the are normally green type.

The green pipe in this pic sure you get different thicknesses.
