I have set up my 3 gallon nano, that I had bought with filter light and tank in one package. Tonight, around 8:30 the pump in the filter went, so I had to make due and went to walmart and bought a filter(the tank is know stocked with livestock), but its for a 5-15 gallon and cannot be adjusted, so there is a strong current. Just wondering what effect this could have on the tank.
Thanks,
marco

If it's a hang off filter, try putting a sponge on the intake tube.

I don't think anything in there would be harmed by a stronger current. I would personally put the mushroom coral in a lower flow area, but that's about it. Just my two cents' :-)
