24g Nano Deluxe Water Flow

[kmerchant]

What do you all recommend for water flow in a 24g deluxe nano?

I've tried adding an in-tank power head, and found it generates too much heat (~4 degress increase).

Does anyone have any suggested powerhead/pump models that work with the Nano Canopy?

In my 12DX I changed the return pump to a minijet 606 and added a minijet 404 behind the overflow grill. This may not be near enough flow for your 24 though.

i switched to a rio1400, seems to be just the right amount of flow, for me.

Does it change your temp at all?

i have my temp @ a constant 80. it seems to hold there, havent really had a problem, but if you wanted it lower around 76-77, im not sure.

I put an MJ 1200 in my 12 gallon nano DX and no temp problems

In my 24G, I set the heater at 79. With the 70MH and the stock PCs as well as 2 MJ1200, my temp is always 80 to 81.5 degree. But I have numerous extra fans installed.

I have three 36 watt pc's over mine, along with an oscilating powerhead. I also have a rio 180 in the back pumping over the wall for extra circulation along with the stock pump. My temp stays a constant 79.
