I'm in the process of setting up a 4G pico set up with a Kessil A80. I have upgraded the return to one that is supposed to do 152gph. Flow still looks sluggish. I have some softies and a green sinularia that are not waving in the flow like I think they should.

Any suggestions for additional flow without blowing the crap out of everthing?

Thinking of https://www.marinedepot.com/Current...mp_Powerhead-Current_USA-CU06004-FIPH-vi.html

I have their DC return pump on my other tank and I have been pleased.
 
One pro going with the Current PH, is you can pulse it to get waves and dial the flow back if it's too much.
