All,
The end of the month is payday and that means I'm looking for what I want to buy next for the pico tank.
I have been debating on a powerhead for the tank because the little filter/powerhead that comes with the EcoPico is small and only has a sponge as a filter system. That is only going to build up and house stuff in there without doing much cleaning so, frankly, I want to get it out. The only problem is that leaves no flow for the tank, so the powerhead is needed.
I have heard many people with MP10s on their pico tanks and they love them. The only problem that I could see is how much they cost. It would put a dent in my wallet, that's for sure.
I am not too worried about the pump kicking up sand as the adaptability of the pump is outrageous in terms of modes and power, but also because it has such a broad flow. Also, if I get the nerve to go back to my 20 gallon in the future, I have a great pump for it.
Does anyone have any immediate qualms or suggestions regarding this issue? Any comments or experiences with this pump in your pico? I am genuinely considering this purchase.
Thanks!
