Add a picture of your tank, then other reefers will be in a better position to advice on which type- and size of powerhead may help you out - and proper placement as well! :)

On my old 20g nano cube I ran a Jebao ow25. It was all the nano needed, imo.

here is a pic I'm running a hygger mini I think it's rated for 1600gph but I think that's again it's on 100 percent and very clean it runs much slower than that must days

Plenty of flow to 2200gph.
The controler has 2 pulse modes and else/random mode.
8 power modes.

Thanks I have mine on the back glass under the return nozzle I tried right in the middle on the back but I noticed less stuff made it's easy into the overflow the stuff would go towards the overflow and then turn and get sucked into the power head and get blown around some more nice tank by the way
