quantum_reefer Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Just moved up here so don't have any pieces of the puzzle yet, but check out this link to see what I plan to be the best looking reef tank in a college dorm!

juan Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Did you get the Nero 3 or 5. I just got the 5 and I feel like it’s to much flow for my 20 gallon. I believe I have it on 20%-30%.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectra Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 IM10 is a great tank........... you will only need a 3 in there if even that it depends on what your stocking it with.......... you can always just upgrade the return pump and go with a spin stream......... they work great......... I ran a IM10 with one and also a upgraded pump.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran a IM10 with one and also a upgraded pump.......... Plan is to go with a ton of nems and some clowns. Idea is that when I'm back home for a week or two I can throw on the auto feeder and the clowns + nems will be fed due to their symbiotic relationship. Stock pump should be enough for circulation with the nero 3 providing most of the wavy flowy action Edited September 27, 2021 by quantum_reefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have a microscope you'll be able to identify better. Lol I just ordered a microscope. I think it'll be beneficial for this hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(John's been awesome scoping samples from my tank, just thinking I may want a more Real-Time option for myself.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked this one because you can plug it in or use batteries for the light, also comes with a phone mount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
