    I was thinking about adding some kind of pump to my 6 gal fluval edge for increased flow. Was thinking about the koralia nano 240 or hydor pico pump. Any thoughts on those or other suggestions

    I think either could work well, I would lean to the pico myself for starters since you have the flow from the filter. I think that would get you up to 50X flow.

    went with the nano 240. Read bad reviews about the pico being to straight of a stream. So far so good with the koralia

    well the pico is designed for a pico, so a straight stream would probably put flow into most of the tank with it being a pico and all. so it would be very fit for an edge, great tanks by the way love the design.
