I was thinking of getting a powerhead but wasn't sure wether to or not. Would my fish benifit and if so which one would be a good one to get?

What kind of fish do you have?

A power head is a good investment, it provides the tank with a little current, and helps the filter out as well.

I would ge one if I were you.

with fish that have bigger bodies such as angels its not a good idea, as they tend to be blown around

Since a power head would not be suitable, due to the type of fish you have, you can try to positioning your filter in such a way to create a current itself.

Try to position the return of the filter (depending on what type of filter you have), in such away that the water coming out will make sort of a path (current) and then return to your inlet on your filter.

Another thing that will provide your tank with more current is more aerators. More aerators with move more water, producing a little water movement within the tank.
