    Hello everyone,
    I just have a quick question about a pump.
    Pico Evo Mag Circulation Pumps

    I have a 10 gallon nano I just setup. I was thinking about getting this PH to go in it. it says comes with a flow deflector, do I assume that is like a wavemaker? it deflects the water kinda like using 2 PH aimed at each other would do? Just not sure if this is the size I would need.
    here's a pic of my tank also

    thanks in advance

    Hi Pecco

    no image of the deflector on the link so Im not exactly sure what that does

    but size wise 180 gph in a 10 gallon tank = 18 x per hour and that seems like a good size IMO

    yeah there wasnt a picture of it but the description says there is a free flow deflector. I was looking over there store and they have a flow deflector listed and that says it is like a wavemaker. so.....

    I think it might be one of those devices that fits on the front of the outlet and rotates to spread the water flow about

    its a good PH and ideal for that tank size
    so I would be tempted to go for it and see what its about
