mjb1959 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 So, i really have wanted to use a "small" powerhead on my spnge filter... is that a good idea? bad? indfferent? currently powered by air pump, nothing wrong just liker the idea of it. sorry if that is silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's great. Better filtration with small powerhead on sponge filter but depending on where it's placed, you might need to add an airstone. mjb1959 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 What do you use to adapt the powerhead to the lift-tube on the sponge filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb1959 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 i looked at the parts in the store (haven't purchased yet) it looks like it has an adapter in the package that would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I used to do it in my fry grow out tanks. Only problems is constant cleaning of the sponge. works great. Many heads like the hagens and aquaclear will have different size adapters. mjb1959 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
