Getting back into the fish keeping hobby after being away for a few years. Setting up a 75g, which will be freshwater. I still have some Kessil LEDs and would like to get some nice shimmer going so I'm thinking of picking up a small powerhead just for surface agitation. I will have a couple of canister filters on the tank, but I think a powerhead will do a better job of making those big burbling ripples that create nice shimmer...
So... In the past I've used big fancy pumps like Vortechs, but for this, I think something small and inexpensive would do the trick nicely. I just want this for causing nice wavy rippling surface agitation. No need for it to push 3000gph or anything. And I want it to be as small an unobtrusive as possible. What's the smallest, most reliable circulation pump that would do a bang up job in this situation?
