Hi all,
Just joined, new to reefkeeping and totally intrigued by Pico reefs! I've been assembling and reassembling my gear list and am stalled at deciding about filtration and flow. Thoughts?
Here are my options:
Aquarium:
WGV clear glass cylinder, 10" (w) x 8" (h) OR: WGV Clear Round Bubble Bowl, 12" (w) x 10" (h)
Wave/pump:
- Hygger quiet magnetic wave maker, 1,600 gph OR
- Hydor Koralia Nano 240gph
OR: should I forget about the wavemaker and add filtration and flow instead, like:
- Zoo Med Nano OR even:
- that cute little submersible Nicrew 10-20 gallon filter with the little flow arm thingie
??
WWYD, wise hive?
I plan to have live rock and live sand in the bowl, and to keep beginner corals, a red hermit crab and clean up shrimp (sexy shrimp or similar). Likely no fish. Tyvm!!
