Toronto but ships Several different Macro Algae types

Very pricey at $20.00 for a small clump of Macro.... especially when you want ALL OF THEM. Yes, I know coral is $$$, haha everything is pricey. I might have to do some more research, possibly do some importing... I'm leaning more and more towards the Macro-Nano style.

 

[BigReefer]

I wonder if they sell frags of macro

Canadacorals must have read your request because they have some nice Algae in.

I'm always trying to get algae out of my tank and you want to buy it!

Opinion needed - I'm going to buy a circulation pump soon, I would like to buy the Vortech 10, however I'd probably consider that expense an upgrade later on. I'm looking at Hydor's Koralia Nano, which would be more suited for the 10g: 240gph or 425gph? I've seen a real mix of ratios, and opinions. Anyone have a nano, and a circulation ratio that works for them?

 

[Dr. Zoos]

I had a k. Nano in my 10 and was happy with it. But I also had a ac100 used as a fuge that created a lot of flow

 

[derrick orosz]

I have a 240 gph in my nano and it's plenty to keep my sps and LPS happy

 

[Dr. Zoos]

I was thinking the mp will be way to much flow ecspecially if you are wanting macros in your tank. It would just rip them apart prob Stick with the nano

+1... MP10 is way too much flow for a 10G

 

[EricTMah]

If you can hide it. Save the money and go for the hydor nano. Plenty of flow for a 10g

If it will be right out in the open. Get the MP10. Aesthetically imo the MP10 is worth the extra money in such a small set up. You can always dial back the flow. Plus gives you alternating current. Which is also a plus.

I use a hydor nano in my nano cube 6. I was able to hide it within my rock work. But if I wasn't able to. I would have put a MP10 in it.

Just my $0.02

I have two Koralia 425's with a smart wave in a 20 Fusion I think they are great little powerheads.
