    That is a real good flow since the tank only has about 5.5 gallons of water in it. If you have a dead spot get another nano to eliminate it.

    Post pics of the tank please, I have an empty 8 and am interested in what you have in it.

    ok those pics are a few days old because i've added another piece of rock similar to the one that made the arch to the bottom right for a similar arch.

    dont mind the algae got some new bulbes lol and the red stuff is macro algae ;)
