Im wondering if you can help me with the flow. So my IM20 came with two 130gph pumps but I want to replace them with two mighty jet 326 will that be enough flow for my tank or will I have to add a wavemaker?

With your two 130 gph pumps you are at about 13x turnover, which to me is very low flow. If you upgrade to mighty jet 2 x 325 gph would being you to about 30x turnover, which is much better IMO.

Yea I’m upgrading to the 20 gallon and already had 326 running in my old tank just wanted some feedback about running two on the new tank. I don’t like how wave makers look on nano tanks so just trying different options
