Picotope 3 Gallon Aquarium Kit

[fishkid2]

i am wondering if you have to put in air from a air pump into the tank for oxygen (look at the title)

Good water flow from a HOB filter will suffice.

Oygenation shouldn't be too much of a problem. A lot of people with picos add a small powerhead for a bit more flow, though. Check out {Edit Link}for a lot of pico and small tank info.

Consider posting in the nano tank forum!

I'm sorry, but why did that link get edited? They don't even sell anything!

Many boards are sponsored by other stores, have sponsor forums, etc. We can not check every board for this, so we ask that people not post links to other boards, thanks.
In addition, we do have a forum on small tanks.

Yes, you do have a small tank forum, but nothing dedicated to picos. I'm sorry, but the operators of Saltwaterfish.com must be deeply insecure if they can't handle a link to a simple forum that could only marginally be seen as a competitor. That forum also doesn't seem to mind any mention of this site. Can't say that any of this is going to make me ever want to spend any money here.

IMO a powerhead, even a small one, would be too much flow in such a tiny tank... unless it's for SPS.

We can not check every site. Many boards ARE sponsored by other stores. I hope you understand. It must be an all or nothing. We simply do not have the time (mods are NOT employees of SWF and are here as VOLUNTEERS during out own time) to go check those boards and determine what is OK and what is not and then get into this same debate every single time as to why this board can be mentioned and that board can't be.
It is not that we don't like THAT site.
