Which Powerhead for Nano?

[chloes]

Hi,

Newbie here. Going to start a Nano (pico?) soon. My tank is 1.5ft x 1ft x 1ft, but I thought of getting another 1ft cube. Anyone can recommend a good powerhead for these tank sizes? I do not want a hang-on filter...

Also, how much salt and which brand will I need for a tank this size?

Any help is appreciated. Have read about cycling so I will be getting the following:

- Powerhead

- Salt

- Sand

- LR (anywhere I can get very good LR? The lighter, the better. Will 4 kg be enough?)

Thanks.

u are using the powerhead as a filter or jus for circulation??...

for salt i suggest tropic marin saltmix...

n i suggest u to go BB means w/o sand...

I'm using the powerhead for circulation only. Why no sand? I thought it would help in the filtration since my tank is small?

One good pump you mat consider is the Tunze Universal pump Mini 5024.04.

I believe you can get it from our sponsor Reef Depot.

Unless your sandbed is more than 4" deep, it probably will not perform biological filtration effectively.
