Good point. If the flow's too high, you can baffle it with a sponge or even just point the output at the tank wall.

I've got a small school of White Cloud Mountain Minnows in a 10 gallon tank, but they seem kinda skittish. Water params are good, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate. Temp's at 72F. Any tips to help 'em chill out?


How many minnows do you have? A school of less than six might make them feel exposed ...

your tank is looking great, the mix of colors is really nice, especially the yellow ones, they're amazing
