I’m planning a small low-tech planted tank for work, a stuff-lying-around-or-recycled project, mostly with trimmings from my other tank(s). (Plus probably a bit of begging on the buy/swap forum for a stem plant....)
I’ve bought a cheap plastic cube which seems to be watertight. It’s just about a 20cm cube, and holds about 6 litres empty. No plan for CO2, just a usb led light. Substrate will be DIY soil/sand capped with gravel.
Is it worth getting a tiny pump for flow, if there is something which would be suitable for a tank this small? It would have to be external. I’m planning big weekly WC, likely with water from my main tank.
EDIT: I’m also running a 4-5l bowl with no flow fine so far, so wondering really how far the advantages of flow outweigh the cost/slight faff of added tech
