I’ve recently set up my 28g JBJ cube and was wondering what powerhead should I use? I want to do a mixed reef and was looking at the hygger mini wave maker. There are 2 options: 1) 1600gph rated for 5-30gallons and 2) 2600gph rated for 26-55gallons. I like a lot of flow and am thinking the 2600gph. This too much? What other options do you suggest?

Ive never used a hygger, but if your able to dial them down then I would go with the 2600.

I swear by my AI Neros. There not extremely pricey like mp's but still give you a crap load of control over the flow.
 
Ecotech V2 as you can turn it down . This way u can always turn it up till the waters on the floor if you want to .lol !! 😎
