Water flow for softies

I have a quick question. I have a 14G Biocube and I am planing on getting some softies on the 1st of september. Will the oullet be enough flow for them or should I invest in a powerhead? If so which one? I was thinking about the Biocube power head.

Soft corals typically don't need a lot of flow, that being said, it's never a bad idea to have good flow in a reef tank, I would suggest the power head as a welcome addition to your nano cube.

if you see some sway in you corals from water movement your are good, if not get a small maxi-jet powderhead so there is some movement
