VorTech in pico tank?

[Ibn]

What's the smallest size tank that you've ever seen an EcoTech VorTech used in (non-BB tank)?

I'm interested in knowing how viable it is with it running at the lowest settings (500 gph) continuously.

I'll make it easier on you, I'll just trade your Vortech for a 500 GPH howerheard

I believe the EcoTech guys had one in a 30g reef without problems... not sure what GPH they were running though.

I had a little more than 2000GPH in a 29G before. It was BB tank.

I'm thinking VorTech at the lowest setting in a 3.5 gallon....

 

[Elite]

You're crazy Eric ;D ..

I think a microjet will be fine in that tank. It's much smaller than the vortech.

 

[Apon]

Why you would take up that much space in a 3.5 gallon tank? You want to blow water out of tank? : ) Take a picture when you do it it.

eric! do it man! get the controller version to make some cool effects

I have a MJ400 in the tank right now and it barely moves any water. I'm sticking a nano Koralia in there and the lowest setting on the VorTech doesn't seem to much more compared to that. I'm just looking for some movement in the tank with the smallest footprint.

You're better off selling that Vortech and getting a Koralia or nanostream. Interesting thing about the nanostream is that they can be mounted quite high in a tank, and not draw in any air.
