4 gal nano reef

[dctpevrythng]

4 gallon Nuvo Pico. My first attempt at saltwater. I'm looking for a small aquarium circulator that won't be aggressive on the coral, any suggestions?

You can either upgrade your return pump or look into a korelia nano 240 power head

Hydor Centrifugal Pumps are ideal for under 10 gallon tanks. Look for pico circulation pumps on google.

Good looking nano!

Looks like you're off to a good start! For the powerhead I can tell you what not to buy haha. The koralia pico 180 is horrible. I got two, both rattled off and on for no apparent reason, and the mount (which is magnetic so that's nice for a powerhead that small) is the thinnest most flimsy piece of plastic ever, its a joke. It hardly holds onto the pump even before you accidentally snap it, which you will lol

I appreciate the input. I tried getting a hydor deflector to see how that works, but it seems to slow the flow down and it he size of the thing was a bit awkward looking for my little tank.

I'd try and upgrade the return if I could to get the extra flow. Anything in a tank that small will look big

This would work,actually the same one that comes with jbj 3 gallon Pico .It is for filtration but actually has a good flow.http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3579+3608+9821&pcatid=9821

Price is right,used two in my 3 gallon Pico .

The system is made by Innovative Marine, the model is a Nuvo Pico 4. You can get it online for $150. Everything is stock, the coral and inverts love the light this things puts out. It's a pretty slick looking tank.

Those would work, but not for the type of tank this is. Since it has an overflow into back chambers.
