10 Gallon QT Tank - How much flow?

[Instigate]

I'm wondering if having an aquaclear 70 as well as a SUNSUN 158gph powerhead could be too much for a 10 gallon QT. Should I ditch the powerhead and put in an airstone? Do I even need a powerhead or airstone? Would the AQ70 alone create enough air exchange?

I have a tailspot goby in QT. On day 2 now and he's still cowering the a corner, but I know that's typical. I have PVC and some smaller pipes bundled together but he's not interested in any of that. It looked like to ate yesterday but I'm not sure. Definitely didn't eat anything today. Feeding frozen mysis, planning on getting some algae food also.

I would dial down the AC70 all the way and that should be enough for your 10 gal QT.

Turn you barnacle tubes vertical. He might like it better.

Ours like them better facing up.

Thanks! I'll do both of those suggestions.

Today he didn't. Was thinking about chopping up the mysis. Also ordered some nori.

Reef frenzy is the fav for ours. Next pe mysis. Yes, cut up really small.
