2 questions...magfloat and digis

sir_dudeguy · 02/04/2007, 04:15 PM

On my 3g pico, i have 3x9w pc's. I was wondering...since the tank is so shallow, would it be possible to grow a digitata in there? It would be up higher if needed.

My second question...can you use mag-floats on the 3g picos? I'm not sure if those would work on the bowfront or not. I know it would be fine for the side, just dont know about the front.

I say yes on the Digi. You have another tank, so if it doesn't do well you can always move it.

On the magfloat, yes you can use them, but the smaller mag floats don't have much of a magnet, and so they separate pretty easily (and often). If the curve is sharp on the front, then they will basically work best from side to side. They will wear the edges down before the center, but IME they work okay.
