Low Light Aquarium Anemones

This causes water to flow down through the gravel and up the lift tubes back into the aquarium. Instead of air, power heads may be used to drive the filter. Power heads are submersible pumps that are mounted at the top of the lift tubes and pump water directly up the tubes and out into the aquarium.

A Whisper Air pump powers the airstones. The Skilter cartridges are changed every other week and the airstones every other month.
