A nano tank leaves no room for bulk, so start with the smallest pump that will run your filter. The 1.3 W Nano Air Pump Set measures 2 by 2 by 0.7 in and clips to the rim. The Mini Air Pump with Wall Bracket is 3.1 by 2 by 1.5 in and weighs 4 oz. Pair either one with a Nano Bio Sponge Filter, 1.5 in across and rated for 1 to 3 gallons.
For bubbles, the Mini Air Stones run on a 2 W pump and come as small as 0.6 in, and the Nano Bubble Disc adds a control valve to set the stream. Light a 1 to 5 gallon tank with the 6 W Clip-On LED on its gooseneck, or a small saltwater tank with the 12 to 18 in Dimmable Reef Light. The 2-inch Shrimp Net suits a small tank or bowl.
All 10 picks for nano tanks, 1 to 5 gallons come from Pawfly aquarium supplies.
Questions about Pawfly nano tank supplies
Which Pawfly pump and sponge filter pair suits your 3-gallon nano?
The 1.3 W Nano Air Pump Set, rated for 1 to 15 gallons, with the Nano Bio Sponge Filter, rated for 1 to 3. In one of its options, the pump set comes bundled with a sponge filter, and the pump is rated at 30 dB.
Will you need a USB adapter for the Pawfly clip-on light?
Yes, and you supply it. The 6 W Clip-On LED runs from a 3 ft USB cable, and a 5 V, 2 A adapter keeps it steady. On a 5 V, 1 A adapter it can flicker, so turn the brightness down if that is all you have. Its timer then runs 8, 10 or 12 hours a day.
Which Pawfly light fits your small saltwater tank?
The Dimmable Reef Light in its 12 to 18 in size. It draws 12 W, mixes 12000 K white with 450 and 460 nm blues and 400 nm violet, and its bracket extends from 12.5 to 21.1 in to sit across the rim. Five brightness levels and a timer come with it.
