    Default powerhead question?

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#This probably sounds like a dumb question but I need a little help. I have a 29g tank with polyps, anemone and fish. I dont have a sump just a hang-on skimmer. I have two powerheads, a hagen 270 gph and a aqua-tech 170 gph in each of the back corners blowing toward the front middle. Is this okay in you guys opinion? Thank you as always!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    exactly what jerry said. you should have enough current in there for what you have living in there. when you get into corals and the such you want to increase your turn over rate.
