POWER HEAD

• Provides ideal and vital water movement for reef aquariums

water movement in aquariums, preventing stagnant water conditions. The optional venturi air-
line and regulator allows for precise water aeration, and each unit includes an optional exible
hose so that the power head can be used as an external pump for additional ltration. The
MaxFlow Power Heads are ideal for powering under gravel ltration systems, or they can be
easily tted with our CAF Sponge Filters (PH8/16/22 models only) for medium to large breed-
ing tanks. Aquatop’s MaxFlow Power Heads are great for use in both Freshwater and Saltwater
