AquaClear 50 Powerhead Multifunction Water Pump 20 – 50 gallon
It can also be connected to protein skimmers, which are essential devices for most marine aquariums. Freshwater aquariums also benefit from additional currents in many applications.
Using a Powerhead 50 in combination with an Aqua Clear Quick Filter provides added safe mechanical filtration for cleaner water conditions and protects baby fish. PowerHead 50 includes a unique reverse flow feature that forces water down the under gravel riser stem and beneath the gravel. This helps promote bacterial growth from the bottom up. Injection of oxygen-rich water beneath the undergravel bed supports superior conditions for beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
Power head 50 includes the following design, safety and utility innovations: a compact, energy-efficient, and completely submersible motor, insulated in epoxy resin to protect against harsh fresh and salt water environments; a venturi aeration feature which increases surface agitation and gas exchange; a convenient rim attachment bracket that fits easily on most standard aquarium rims; and flow control.
Flow rate: up to 270 U.S. gallons (1000 L)
Recommended aquarium capacity: 50 U.S. gallons (190 L)
