Pleco - a power head is basically a multi use work horse for aquariums, mostly used in salt water set ups - running alone they suck water in from the bottom and push it out an adjustable nozzle or in some cases through a powered sweep nozzle for circulation in the tank - they can be hooked to other equipment such as skimmers, sumps, wave pulse timers and undergravel filters as well - -like I said - -a multi use workhorse - -but yes i guess you could set them up to suck in air too....LMAO - -thats just wrong ...............Snowboss
You guys are CRUEL!!!! In addition to Snowboss answer Pleco, some PH's have a feature called a venturi where in addition to being a water pump the PH also sucks in air via a small tube and shoots it out with the water. I'm signing off to watch the Simpsons and then SOUTHPARK!!!
good point on the air intake i guess it could be mistaken just for an air introducerizer - - I'm glad to see the Pleco is taking his come uppins with respect and not shooting his mouth off at every little dig - -good job Pleco!!!!
i thought you only get an introducerizer when you use an air flux with a water capacitor...?
this thread could of been answered if he just did a search... or read up on powerheads anywhere else... like drs fosters smith website... or even petco.com... why make a thread on a wim just because you're pondering, or can't figure something out...??
LMAO- - air flux capacitor - we are showing our age with classic si-fi movie quotes here gumbii. - I'm not bold enough to say "Pleco, I am your father" and way to young to say "It's Alive!!!!"
I agree to a point about asking what seems to be a simple question - -but one one hand I like to respond to questions i might know the answer to in order to "give myself a checkup from the neckup" I'd rather be "schooled" by a fellow aquarian who has had expierience with some piece of equipment or fish rather than be fed a line of bull from a half wit LFS trying to push an overstock or out of date item from his shelves - - -but I'm not bitter, lol
but yes - -i think if these questions get to the point of " is water always wet?" a line should be drawn
And to everyone - -i apologize for posting to much - - i can slow it down if it's a problem - -i just love this hobby and talking about it at every oportunity - - best to all - -The Snowboss
I also apologize for posting so much, though rarely in the salt water forums. My life right now is in transition, and I really enjoy aquariums. As soon as I get my new career going I'll probably be on here less.
i'm used to being on some brutal forums where i bust 50+ post a day... but they aren't fish related... also... sometimes i feel like this forum is uber slow... we need to pick up the pace and cover more stuff... i wanted to do write ups for the site, but javier said that he had enough writers... oh well...
