Aquarium & Fish Tank Powerheads & Pumps
Want to keep things flowing in your tank? Fish tank powerheads and pumps help move water around so your fish stay happy and your setup stays clean. Whether you're setting up a reef tank, a freshwater home, or something in between, Chewy has the aquarium powerheads and pumps you need to boost circulation and make sure everything runs smoothly. Key features of fish tank powerheads and pumps include:
- Circulation support: Keep water moving and help cut down on dead spots
- Oxygen boost: Surface movement can improve oxygen levels for healthier fish
- Easy setup: Most attach with suction cups or clips- no tools needed
- Adjustable flow: Choose gentle or strong currents, depending on your tank
- Fits all setups: Options for small tanks, large aquariums, and everything in between
Water flow plays a big role in keeping your tank balanced. The right aquarium powerhead or pump can help distribute heat, move debris toward your filter, and give your fish a more natural environment. Plus, most are very quiet and easy to adjust whenever you need to.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aquarium & Fish Tank Powerheads & Pumps
What does a powerhead do in an aquarium?
A powerhead moves water around inside your tank. It helps create flow, which supports filtration, spreads out heat, and keeps oxygen levels up.
What size powerhead do I need for my fish tank?
It depends on your tank size and setup. A good starting point is choosing a powerhead that can move five to 10 times your tank's volume per hour.
What is the difference between a fish tank pump and a powerhead?
A pump usually pushes water through equipment like a filter, while a powerhead moves water inside the tank to improve flow and circulation.
Where should I place a powerhead in my aquarium?
Try placing it near the top or along a side wall to create steady flow across the tank. You might need to adjust the angle or position to avoid strong currents or dead spots.
