Would this work with colored stones and in a 2.5 gal tank?

it does not matter what color stones you have, with a 2.5 tank, it will still seem kind of big to use in it. however it will work if you keep doing the motion it instructs you to. it will work for about 5 easy water switches, but after the 5th you might want to dump everything in a colander because it doesn't get absolutely everything, and whats still in there piles up after awhile.

I currently use this in my 3gal tank with colored stones at the bottom. It's a little difficult to get the siphon working because there's not that much space to perform the action to do so. I've goten it to work and it's nice, but it takes some work and you have to move quick, because once the water get so low it stops.

If you have only one air stone( no more than 12") and the pump is resting level with the top of the tank it should work fine. The longer the air hose and if its fighting gravity it may not put out enough air and damage the pump. I'm using the 60 gl pump for a 10 gl tank - 1 24" & 3 1" air stones.

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

Yes it can, but maybe to much for a 5 gallon tank. I have a 46 gallon tank and I run mine halfway.

yes but you will have to go slow. I use it on a 3 gallon now and then and it is slow but does the job.

2 should work, but to be effective they will need to be suspended about a foot above the tank. It works great on my 10 gallon reef tank.

I would rcommend their Ray 2 for a tank that deep if your are going to raise plants. I use one on a 37 gallon high with 24" depth. it is a planted tank, medium light, NO CO2 but do use Exel carbon suppliment. Works well with very little algae. I also use use a FugeRay on a 10 gallon planted that is 12" deep. Don't use chemicals on that one and use an 8 hour daylight length. Two FugeRays would probably work but a single Ray 2 would be my choice. Either way, the lights are reliable and provide me with the best planted tanks I have ever had.

hi . ours works excellent on a 75 gal tank , excellent so i imagine two would be great just dont overfeed and do regular water changes , definately use the uv when putting in new fish ! add a few bubblers we use the lighted underwater bubblers 24 inches and of course all depends on freshwater or saltwater tank , we use ours on africans and discus tanks , its a super quiet and very efficient filter sherry

I believe it will. I use it on my salt water tank and it makes my corals glow.

Candra, I am running it in a 3.5 gal tank and it works just fine...smallest one I found with the best warranty.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

Yup it working for my 30g anemone/lps tank. I don't think the flow is SPS strong, but flow is great. Keep in mind that my tank has almost no rocks with a return pump of 500gph. Perhaps you can keep one of the koralia. Let me know if you have questions.

I would think that it would be big enough. I have 2. My first one I have 2 6 inch air stones in my 5000 gallon fits tank which boils the water up 4 feet deep plus it has a 4 inch air stone in my 50 gal tank. And a 8 inch air stone in Mt 750 gal tank. And I have 4 4 inch air stones in my hydrophonic plant beds. One pump runs all this with plenty of air. The 2nd air pump I'm just now setting up. It work wonderful for me.

It probably would. If not, switching to another canister only takes moments. You might consider an adapter hose and 5 gallon tank.

No. It's perfect for a 2.5 gallon tank. Only an air stone and the tubing will be in the water. The pump clips on the back of the tank but I just set it on top of my tank.

With small plants and fish, I think it would work. The flow of water may be too strong and would have to be slowed somehow.

It should not, but if the stone is very porous, it might pick up some color.
