Some systems run sir stones others run with no flow just regular water changes seen some with fans from remote control boats and mini water pumps and even mini external pumps and seen 2 systems that used gravity piping for flow

Lots of different options but common theme with most of the pico systems is the frustration level for every one that works there are 8 failures.

Good luck in your endeavour and hope it turns out great for you

I have a 1 gallon going but it's a tank not a jar for heat I am using the mini hydor 7.5 watt I am finding it a tad to warm but will be moving all to a 2 gal very soon I don't know what to suggest for movement I use a mini hob filter but you would not have room for that I also have led lights watch they are not to strong so they don't cook your corals I do top ups every day had a 1gal a few years back I don't find them hard to keep they arealot offun post some pics of you project as you go along

Well the turn table idea produced very little current, so I guess I need to entertain ideas of having a circulation pump or air stone within the jar. I will play around with both systems to see which I prefer.

I am now in search for a heating pad, like the kind used for reptile tanks, if anyone knows of someone letting one go for cheap, please let me know.
