  • Help with a flow issue.

    Pretty sure I need more flow in my tank. But I am afraid a power head is going to be an eyesore in such a small tank. Any suggestions?

      Koralia nano 240 is small but might still be a bit bulky for your tank

        Yeah I have looked at a few in the LFS' and I cant find any that arent too bulky. Maybe I can find one of these to look at. Thanks.

          Holy crap! That Mp10 is worth more than my whole tank and all my stuff.

            Yup but it's very small and compact. Plus you can adjust the flow.

                Pretty sure that 1000+ gph flow in my 320oz tank would cause one of two things.
                1. A massive vortex
                2. All the water to fly out.

                  That is max flow lol Mp10 is worth the money. when turned all they way down it has a nice low flow. I have one on my tank I crank it up from time to time to blow the crap off the bottom.

                    Nevermind I didn't see the part about your tank being 2.5 gallons.

                      Yeah, it's lowest setting is just about all I think I need. It would be great for a bigger tank though. I went to the youtubes and saw a vidya. It's a little bitty thing.

                        maybe some small glass lilly pipes and a small pump to make a small closed loop system.

                            Probably work best for what you are wanting to do.
