AquaClear 50 Powerhead

The AquaClear 50 Powerhead is a highly versatile pump that excels in a variety of aquarium applications. Designed for both freshwater and marine environments, it efficiently drives undergravel filters, circulates, and aerates water, ensuring optimal conditions for your aquatic life. This powerhead is also compatible with protein skimmers, making it an essential tool for maintaining marine aquariums. In freshwater setups, it creates beneficial currents, enhancing the overall environment.

One of the standout features of the AquaClear 50 Powerhead is its reverse flow capability, which directs water down the undergravel riser stem, promoting bacterial growth from the bottom up. This process injects oxygen-rich water beneath the gravel bed, supporting the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria that are crucial for maintaining a healthy aquarium ecosystem.

The AquaClear 50 Powerhead is built with durability and efficiency in mind. It features a compact, fully submersible motor insulated in epoxy resin, ensuring long-lasting performance in both fresh and saltwater environments. The venturi aeration feature increases surface agitation and gas exchange, while the convenient rim attachment bracket allows for easy installation on most standard aquarium rims. The flow control feature adds to its versatility, allowing you to adjust the water flow to suit your specific needs. With a flow rate of up to 1000 liters (270 U.S. gallons) per hour, the AquaClear 50 Powerhead is recommended for aquariums up to 190 liters (50 U.S. gallons).
