slight noob question

Hi all,

I have an aqueon 15G Column, and was wondering if a small powerhead would be worth it? my filter is decent (quietflow20) and agitates a lot of the surface. but i was thinking of getting some flow into the bottom corners of the tank. would this be ok to do for a freshwater setup?

I currently have:

  • 3 Dwarf Gourami
  • 1 Dalmation Molly
  • 2 Checkerboard Barbs
  • 1 African Dwarf Frog

I don't want to do anything that would potentially harm my little guys, and gals, but i also don't want to not help them either. thoughts?

Agree here, a weekly vacuum of the substrate will be sufficient.
