Choosing Fluval 13.5 Flow

[Schulks]

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a better solution for flow in my fluval. I had been using the Jebao SLW-5 but it is too loud and takes up too much space in my tank.

I am a beginner so I'd like some opinions on how far this pump could take me in my Fluval 13.5. My goal is mostly LPS/soft coral and maybe a piece or 2 of SPS.

(NOT AN ADD!)

I've been waiting for a Nero 3 restock but then I found this Mini version of the MightyJet it must have just been released because it isn't listed many places.
I am considering buying that and skipping the Nero 3. It would keep my display much cleaner, save some money, and my Sicce 0.5 could be used on a CoralLife UV if I decide but I don't want to limit my flow too much. If you think I will end up wanting the Nero 3 after buying this I'd rather just wait for the Nero 3 and use my Sicce 0.5.

If you have other recommendations let me know!

Thanks,
Cory

These are two different types of pumps: the Sicce 0.5 is for your main pump and a Nero 3 would be to augment the flow within the tank itself as a wavemaker. You could also look at a Sicce Nano Voyager 1.0 instead of the Nero 3.
