I'm getting a little algae growth in the back corner of my tank. I'm thinking it's lack of water flow (it's just under my water output). I have a wave maker, but I think with the size of my LR, it still has a problem getting everywhere.

Where would be the best place to put the powerhead? The algae is on the back right side of my tank, so I was thinking of putting it on the left side of my tank, flowing behind my LR to that right corner.

Here is the pic of the algae

If I put it here, it will go right behind my LR and to the corner where the algae is.

Any ideas or sugestions would be great, thanks.

How about right front so it can go across then to the side and around the rock? Or maybe another wavemaker

I can't put another wavemaker because I only have one water output. The wave maker snaps onto the water output. I'd rather not put it in the front (don't want to see it) so I was thinking the side. I'm just not sure which side.

Either side will work. I got mine on the left side. Haven't had any alge issues

a krolia nano may actually be too much. they do make smaller gph pupps and jets. the little 12v pumps Ive uses in 5g nanos work quite well too.
this kind, i use it on my atos as well. cheap on ebay.

The jebao rw-4 with the sl1 controller can get about 3 times ghp lower than the stock controller.
