Enough Bubble Flow for Pico Jar?

[DesktopReefer]

Is this enough flow for my Pico reef jar or do I need a more powerful air pump?

What do you plan to put in it? In general, I think an air pump is sufficient. You may want to not use an air stone, or you risk turning the jar into a protein skimmer.

The plan was a mix of shrooms, zoas, lps, and maybe a monti and birds nest up top.

It looks like the video wouldn’t upload so I put it on YouTube real fast.

Any update on your jar? :-)

Nope. Get yourself a Luft pump. They have a rheostat with which you can control the air so you can do gentle to Jacuzzi. Also, I like the coarse Kordon Mist Air stones. They never clog, eliminate the bong noise, and move much more water than a open hose.

The best place for my updates is over on my build thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bank3r’s-pico-jar.895854/

For this exact question, I actually changed out to a Tetra Whisper 20 air pump and then just last week I added a little AQUANEAT $5 pump. I thought I might have heat issues, but so far I’ve easily kept it under 79.4F and now the flow is blasting.
