Hey all, I’m looking for a circulation pump for my 10 gallon LPS. I have an Aqueon 20 for the filter, no sump. It’s rated at 110 GPH, but doesn’t seem to be enough. Ive tried a few smaller circulation pumps, but they’re too strong. Any recommendations?

so I've had this running in my 20g sump for the past year almost 2 not expecting to much but for the price it's actually a decent little wavemaker and it's tiny! I don't like how it attaches to the magnet but it's a sump wavemaker for mixing my additives under my dosing lines so I don't mind. maybe this will work for you?

Ive look at it, a good friend of mine uses it on her 24 cube. But I’m thinking it might be too much for a 10

Hopefully with something DC you can dial it down, only other problem is the footprint, luckily for that little wave maker, it's pretty tiny.

I keep it on 100% 24/7 , but there are a few modes on it.

Hopefully you find something if not you could always put a second hob on it, or a canister filter might work ?
