Hey all! Long story short, Looking for recommendations on a wavemaker/powerhead for my 20 gallon. I previously had a 180 g but massively downsized due to the time it took to maintain. I am 8 months pregnant and just didn't have the hours to spend cleaning and doing water changes on it like I once had. I did loads of research on equipment with the big tank but nano is a whole new area
However, the 20 gallon has been much easier to manage, quicker top offs, quicker water changes, and 2 seconds to clean the glass haha. It’s been up and running for a good year now.
That being said, I am wanting to dapple into some SPS corals and I am needing more flow in my tank. I currently have an Innovative Marine all in one with a skimmer that has done wonders. Current habitants are 2 clownfish and misc snails. I have a bounce mushroom and toadstool I kept from my previous tank. Nothing fancy. But want some higher end corals and what I have obviously won’t cut it for SPS.
Any recommendations on some wavemakers? I was really wanting the Nero 3 but I just can't see spending almost $200 for a wavemaker for a tank this size. Hoping to find something decent that is cost effective (I know not usually possible in the saltwater world) Is there a GPH I need to be looking for? Would it be better to have 2 on each end?
Thanks in advance!
