Powerheads, overkill or do i want more?


Hi guys, i currently have in my possesion 2 powerheads that are rated at pumping 2000L per hr.

They will be most likely placed at either end of my 82 gallon tank opposing each other straight, or diagonally depending on the aqua scaping.

Now will this be too much water flow?

Is it just right or do you recomend a 3rd powerhead.

So you believe 2 2000L per hr powerheads wouldnt be sufficient?

I dont want to buy things that arent required.

Will increased flow make the tank less fish friendly?
