[AquaticLife] Powerheads
A powerhead is just an underwater water pump. It has an intake, the motor/impeller and then an output. They are generally small so people can put them in a corner or behind something to hide them. They are generally used to just move water around in a tank but people also hook the intake up to a UGF filter system or sponge filter to draw a larger water volume through the UGF/sponge. They do not hook up to an air pump… an air pump pumps air, a powerhead pumps water. There’s no need to hook them up to an HOB since an HOB already has it’s own pump. Some fish, like fast moving waters so people might add one or two powerheads to their tanks to increase water circulation inside the tank. SW tanks with coral needs lots of water circulation so people will often have them in that type of setup as well.
