Small wave makers

CrayolaViolence · 11/22/2016, 10:41 AM

I am in need of a couple of small low powered wave makers for 10-20 gallon QT tanks. I'm a fan of Jebaos but they are too powerful (even the small ones) for tanks that size. I have a tiny hydor that seems to do well. Are there any brands other than hydor that come small with a low gah rating? Thanks

the pp4 is perfect for a small tank and is adjustable.

I actually bought the PP4 version for my 40G just this week.
Flow and functionality are really impressive, plus the night time option on the controller has spared the much valuable outlet on my ReefKeeper.

I use the RW-4 on my 20 gallon long QT. I have it sat on 30%. Quiet sure you could use one of yours and set it on 10%

Try Sicce. Not sure if there's one low enough in their new eXtreme models for you, but they also make nanos.

Smallest jebao (rw4) i think its the best option.You could set it on lowest speed.Koralia makes beautifull designed pumps but i had bad luck with them getting water inside the stator.If you go with koralia use a GFCI.And also ,the small koralia pumps from what ive seened they have really anemic flow.The smallest one isnt suitable not even for a 10 gal tank,maybe 5 galons.
