Newish tank (going on 5 months) and I added a powerhead from Amazon to improve flow. I didn’t do much research, but description said 20-60 gallons, 6w 1050gph. It seems to be putting out too much for my cube. Maybe a longer tank of similar capacity would be better. I have it on the lowest setting. It isn’t programmable (manual switch on head to increase flow) and I would like to replace it with something smaller and easier to adjust. Possibly put on a schedule through an app? Working on a Reef Pi so that would be cool to include in the future. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
