Do I need a power head in this tank?

[jweiner]

I have this IM 15 AIO. I have the rotating pump return nozzle, but I’m wondering if I’m going to need a power head for more agitation? I plan on having a pair of clowns and maybe some coral. Thanks in advance.

I would put at least one in there.

Probably not initially, but maybe down the road as corals fill in.

Personally I would, its a deep tank, and a powerhead will help with surface agitation to oxygenate the water.

I'd do Return Nozzle/s for surface agitation. Power head for flow
I had this one on a small tank, and it was fantastic without breaking the bank.

I was just about to post the same product! The price is right, the controller is nice, and it is durable.

I like my Tunze 6040 in my 15.
Small footprint for nanos and has a controller.

I would definitely add another powerhead. I put an extra powerhead in my two gallon pico, and have been considering a second.
I am using a stagnant pump in both adjustability and range of flow options, but for a tank your size, you have a lot more options. I had a pair of Aquamai pumps I used on a nano that I liked as far as size, controllability, and water movement years ago.
