    Just bought a nano with BRISTLE WORMS HELP

    Ha,ha,ha :razz: I heard if you don't capture the whole worm, meaning you break it in have they can re-generate! Is that true? For me, the little ones are okay but I just saw a 5-6 inch one. And since its in a 5 gallon it looks like a monster! Thanks everyone!

    Here we go starting my first nano... *LOOK*

    Wether I can put the orginal impellar and just create more chambers for filtration. This will make the current slower due to more chambers filter,chemi-puren then chaete/LR? Or should I just add a powerhead for better current?

    Here we go starting my first nano... *LOOK*

    Thanks again Andre. Yes it will fit but it will be where the current comes from the fuge. Will that make adiffrence? With 106gph will that be too much for my 4 gallon as in current wise? I'm not really that knowledge on GPH so I can't say if it will blow sand up? Or just be too powerful...

    Here we go starting my first nano... *LOOK*

    Thanks Andre... I'm just scared to put in something that will but too much. Eddy I just saw the article of the powerhead. And I have a thought :shock: Since my AQ70 is a fuge and I changed the impellar to a 20 can I change it back to the 70 and create more chambers. Meaning I'd have a...

    Eddy there's nothing smaller than a 606, I thought I saw a 404 online too?

The water surface circulation is there, the antenna on the hermits and snails move and their on...

    Here we go starting my first nano... *LOOK*

    I was looking at my tank and wanted to know if needed to add a powerhead? Its going into the 4 gallon tank but the fuge with the 20 impellar to me doesn't create that much of a water flow? It does but its not much. If anyone built one of these fuge's or seen the current produce please verify if...
