Hi guys!
So I have a 6.5 gallon bowfront imagitarian AIO tank that I picked up from Petco. I would like to try keep a few SPS corals in it but I don't know how to add more flow without making the tank look cluttered or creating a tsunami. Any suggestions on pumps or powerheads? I've been looking for wavemakers and powerheads but feel they may produce too much flow for the little tank. Here's a picture of the tank as is.

hydor pico.
its better to go bare bottom and add live rock if you are shooting for acros. Monti's will grow without any fancy bells and whistles.
What light you are using?
 
+1 on Jebao SW2. Its compact and can produce enough flow to keep SPS in that size tank!!

Agree with @Ranjib on barebottom. Smaller tank, lesser issues!!!
