Hi there,
I need a bit of advice regarding glass filter pipes for my Aquael 30 nano aquarium.
I'm replacing the internal foam filter and heater that came with the set with an Oase Filtosmart 100 Thermo so I can save this space inside the aquarium. This also gives me opportunity to scale up later with the same hardware.
The aquarium measures just 29x29x35 so I worry about the size of the lily pipes - the standard lily pipes look around 15/ 17cm deep and will be too big in the aquarium. Equally, I worry about too much current if I go for one of the smaller nano jet style outflows. The Oase is the smallest external filter I could find with built in heater but still kicks out 600l/h and my tank holds 30l.
In the tank I have 9 neon tetras and a veriety of different shrimp so some current should be tolerated.
What do you guys recommend? Does anyone have experience of glass pipes in nano aquariums? Would I need a poppy or loop style outflow?
Thanks,
David
