Alrighty. So, I would like to add more flow in my 4 gallon pico. It's a peninsula style tank and the display portion is roughly 10" x 8" x 8". I've swapped out the stock return pump for Sicce Nano rated at 110 GPH. It's fine. There's moderate flow everywhere except for the back of the tank where there's a couple of dead spots. I wanted to add more flow to keep acros, but I'm on the fence about either getting a mini DC pump, or just upgrade the return. Please let me know what would be best. Here are my choices.
Aqamai KPS - programmable, small, directional.
Hygger Mini Wavemaker - programmable, small, can't place in the back because the magnet can't be submerged in the AIO sump.
Sicce Silent 0.5 - fits in the AIO sump, rated at 185 GPH
Newa Mini MN606 - fits in the AIO sump, rated at 159 GPH
The CONS for the DC pumps are 1) extra hardware in the DT, 2) might be too strong for a small pico
The CON for the return pumps is that it's not programmable.
Thanks for the feedback.
