Hi all,

Currently have an aqua one 35 nano tank which I am soon to be upgrading to a waterbox 20g. My current tank is going fine but I dont feel my torch is getting enough flow (return pump is only 150gph) via a DIY flow bar. Is there a wavemaker that will suit both tanks. Most seem to start at atleast 500gph will that be "too much flow" ? Any help appreciated

Both these seem like good options but unfortunately difficult to get hold of in England ! thinking of getting a jebao and hoping the 500gph isn't too much

Look into the Jebao SLW-5 pump. Its perfect for nano tanks, low profile, and controllable. I have a SLW-10 in my 20 long and love it.

Sicce made in italy I thought. Weird how you cant find one. Some new Jebao are not bad and they also have a bunch of dc types now you can dial in.

Jebao SLW-5, SLW-5M or MLW-5 (same pump, different controllers) would be perfect for you. Nice wide flow, so nothing gets blasted. 792gph max, and the minimum setting is about 240gph-ish.

That's about as good as you're going to get for a nano controllable wavemaker.
