Second wavemaker for 20 long?

[ocellarisoasis]

Currently looking into another wavemaker for my 20 long softy reef. Rn I have a Hygger mini 2600gph on the left side of the tank. I’ve noticed it has a very wide cone and only reaches about halfway down the tank before flow dissipates. Any suggestions on wavemakers for a 30in tank? Should I add another Hygger or another brand completely? Thanks.

I have a 20 long tank too and one wave maker - jebao sow-3
I run it on the second to lowest setting and it's able to create a good flow across the whole tank

Nero 3. I got one about a week ago and absolutely love it. It is very customizable. I have an IM desktop wave maker that is ok but now that I’m running the Nero I wish I had spent the extra 60 bucks.

Have you tried playing with placement? Angle it towards the front glass. Place it in the middle of the back? What type of filtration do you have? Place it at the opposite end of the return?

There's a lot of different things to try, of course you could always get a second for the other end.

I like the sicce voyager nano for small tanks. And very inexpensive for its good quality.

If you want something controllable, I like the aquamai kps powerhead, its as small as an egg, and very powerful and completely controllable.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I unfortunately do not have gyre or nero money built in to my budget (one day). I've been looking at the sicce voyager and I think I'm going to try that one out. If it doesn't work, I can always use it for mixing water. Really just looking to eliminate dead spots on the other side of the tank and more flow at the surface.
