Hi all,

I recently set up my first tank and today finally got some coral and fish for the tank. I have the Jebao SOW-8 pump for making waves, but this pump is too strong even on its lowest setting. My little clown fish are unable to swim around because of the waves. Does anyone have any recommendations for a less strong pump so that my coral and fish can both thrive?

Thanks in advance!
 
Welcome to R2R! Try a SW-4.. I have a old RW-4 on my 14 gallon and run it about halfway, it’s perfect :)
