Yes I’m thinking I only need 100 GPH or less, not much too choose fromGood question - I'm curious to hear the feedback from the community. One of my tanks is a 10g nano and I have been looking at setting up a pico tank as well. One of the options that I have looked at is the Hydor Pico Evo-mag.
I didn't even think of just getting a bigger return pump, great idea!Nice setup!
Here’s three different options of return pumps for your pico. The first two will give you about 159gph. Using any of these will eliminate the need for an actual powerhead inside your tank. You should consider making a build thread for your tank and receive your badge!

How do I make a build thread?I didn't even think of just getting a bigger return pump, great idea!
Go over to the nano/pico section and create a post/thread at the top. Once you’re happy with it, go to account details and scroll down to the bottom where it says R2R tank thread. Post your link there and you should receive your build thread badge. Also, you can click on anyone’s badge to pull up their thread. Good luck!How do I make a build thread?
Nope just sand water and live rock from my other tank, the only thing new was the glass that holds the water. Expected a little mini cycle but figured I missed it the week priorDid you add an ammonia source such as Dr. Tim’s, food, or rotting shrimp?
