after some research seems my return pump isnt just enough for coral flow. So trying to add circulation and this was one of the lowest gph i can find. Powerhead at 110 and it blows my tank around. Its still big and alot of power for 15g. Cant seem to find anything smaller. What are you guys running in your 15 or less nanos

Try a Sicce Voyager Nanostream

I run one of those and also an AI Nero 3 in my 20 gallon.

not sure why marineland says 110 gph but is way to much in the 15 but going to a 240 would be better? maybe this one isnt really 110 and its actully more
 
i would go with a nero 3 it has nice wide flow and you can ajust flow as needed

I would recommend a Jebao SLW 10 (or maybe even a 5), it will provide wider flow (pushes more water without creating a jet) and is adjustable/can pulse. I have two tens in my 28g and it’s not too much even at full intensity.
