Need more water movement? How would you add flow to a mid-sized tank?
There are many possible flow solutions depending on your tank and its inhabitants. While the Ecotech MP series in-tank pumps are popular and keep wires from coming out of the tank, the AI Nero line also receives a lot of attention because of its sleek form factor. The traditional powerhead continues to be a common choice, and the gyre pumps have gained traction because of their ability to effectively move water. Another approach is adding a random flow generator to the end of the return line to create more flow and agitation in the water column. Considering all these options and more, how would you add flow to a mid-sized tank? Please share your thoughts and tips for right sizing the flow in your tank!
