Hi guys,

I have a 2.65 pico that is taller than wide (see a link to it in my signature).

I am finding that the circulation theoretically is fine, but in reality the bottom of the tank does not seem to receive as much circulation. In the event I may want to increase circulation, what is a circulator that may make sense for such a small size tank?

Thanks all!
 
There are a couple of pico powerheads available in the market. Is it possible to redirect your return pump flow or even add a random flow generator to your return?

Unfortunately not, or not that I can think of that'd be relatively easy. It is towards the top and does not really point down much. I could think a random flow generator might help, but seems like given the inlet and outlet are both high up, probably still won't be too much help.
