Hey guys,

I have a 6g Nano and was wondering what Powerheads and Pump you guys are using?

I have the 12 gallon and have upgraded the return pump to a maxijet 1200. I also will be adding in a koralia nano.

Maxi sounds cool, The kNano wouldnt be too much though? Is there a way to plumb the main pump to disperse water to the whole aquarium though? I was thinking another pump would be too space consuming for my 6g

Hmmm... you could plumb a spray bar with holes in it.

I use two Koralia Nano's and depending on what corals you will be keeping, I did find the mushrooms didn't like it too much, so I've moved both KNano's to the right side of the tank so the left side doesn't get blown around. I call the left side Mushroomland. I keep my corals that like a lot of flow on the right side. Haven't given that a name yet.

Spray bar or a hydro flow (if not DIY inclined) could work. Or if you don't want to see the equip you can drill into the false wall and have an additional power head pointed outward on the opposite side of your return pump near the sand bed.

So your saying Drill another hole on the return wall to have another powerhead to blow?

It's a possibility. But once you drill it you must use it. Or patch it up if you don't want it anymore.
