I have 2 16x15x8 frag tanks that are bare bottom and not much space to add a circulation pump under the frag racks and was looking for ideas from others in the same position
Don’t want any detritus or food stuck on the bottom so I want to get some flow under the racks to make sure the tank is clean. Let me know what y’all think.
Thanks

What's the height under the frag racks? Most setups I see have a gyre like a Red Sea pushing water continually under the racks - but I'm not sure if you have enough height.
Yeah I was looking into those but figured it would be overkill since it’s such small tanks
I may just buy one and see how it if it’s too much or not
Thanks

Maybe a single Sicce Nano Voyager for each tank?
