I was looking at putting in a Tunze Turbelle NanoStream Pump 6025 but its rated for 11g and up. Does anyone recommend something else for a 5g tank. My return just isn't creating enough flow and I want to add a bit more.
 
I have a couple Jebao DLW-20 in my 25g. I love them for small tanks because they have a very small profile, and the flow is very wide, so the velocity is lower and less problematic for anything directly in front of them. They make a DLW-5 that would probably be great for a small tank like yours, and you can turn the pump down even further if necessary. They can do the typical wave programs as well.
