For the same (or even smaller) footprint you could get something with much better flow like a Tunze 6100 series or Vortech. In fact, if you got one of those you might find that they can even replace two or three of your existing powerheads.

Okay so it looks like you've all determined that really I need a Vortech...now if only I had a spare $500! Hard to come by on a stay-at-home Mom`s wages...NIL!

Well bad news...found my beloved Skunk Goby crispy on the floor...didn't last too long...2 whole weeks!! I was actually REALLY disappointed about finding this little guy this morning. I was so impressed at the personality on this little goby. Kinda embarrassing how we get attached to our fish. Soooo...I am REALLY hoping RC still has one in stock (they did last weekend) so I can replace him tomorrow. And get started building a cover I guess...

Crappy deal, I was lucky that mine only made it to the sump before I fixed that problem.

Thanks Guys and Leah! Good news is that we still have another one at RC. I was gonna bag him up today but we were really busy at the end of the day and I just didn't have time to catch him before we closed. I hope to sneak over tomorrow to get him but it's my son's birthday party...priorities I suppose.
