In a 15 gallon, I need moderate flow, My return pump has a decent amount of it, But I may need a bit more, powerhead suggestions?

alright, thanksAI Nero 3 or Tunze 6040. Only two nano pumps I've tried so far. Nero 3 on a 10g and the 6040 on a 24g.
The Nero's safety stop is a little more finicky ... even the slightest little 'obstruction' will cause it to stop. But both have worked great for me.
Do you think a Nero 3 will be sufficient enough for a 20 gallon long or would you suggest going to the Nero 5?I agree I have a Nero 3 on a 20 gallon running 15-35% random I just have softies and LPS
Since it’s a long tank I would get 2 lower rated power heads and place them on opposite sides to get maximum flow and no dead spots but a Nero 3 would be okay for a 20 longDo you think a Nero 3 will be sufficient enough for a 20 gallon long or would you suggest going to the Nero 5?
That makes sense! So, I shouldn't count my HOB (Tidal 55) as part of my flow?Since it’s a long tank I would get 2 lower rated power heads and place them on opposite sides to get maximum flow and no dead spots but a Nero 3 would be okay for a 20 long
Unless you have an incredible amount of rock packed into it, the 3 should be plenty of flow for a 20g.Do you think a Nero 3 will be sufficient enough for a 20 gallon long or would you suggest going to the Nero 5?
Thank you, I really appreciate this information!No it doesn’t really add to tank turn over rate and if it does it’s very little.
I don't plan on packing it with rock. I plan to aquascape it and leave enough space from the glass so I can clean the sand bed if needed. I believe I will go with the Nero 3. I only asked about the Nero 5 because WWC's 20 gallon tank runs a Nero 5.Unless you have an incredible amount of rock packed into it, the 3 should be plenty of flow for a 20g.
No problem ! The Nero 3 has a wide flow pattern so it’s pushing a lot of water but not in such a straight motionThank you, I really appreciate this information!
