powerhead?

[cb9tunerguy]

i was thinking of getting a zoomed power sweep powerhead. will this be benificial or a waste of money? i was going to submerge it pretty deep in my tank so i get good circulation on my live rock. i was going to get a powersweep 214, 160 gph

From my understanding, they will work for awhile, and then stop "sweeping"

They work OK for awhile then stop. You would be better off modifying one of your power heads to get the same type of water movement.
There was a thread on how to do this with PVC drilled with holes.
