I am looking for a magnet mount wave maker for a 10 gallon tank.
I want it to be able to give a wide gentle flow for euphyllia.
I'm moving all my euphyllia from my 66 into this 10 gallon tank.
I usually use 2 per tank, but this is so small I'm hoping to use just 1
 
Nero 3 would fit and be plenty of flow if you want variability. If you want old school, something like a Koralia nano should be plenty. A 10g is even in the realm of a cheap submersible pump with a spreader head.
 
This is a temp holding tank so I was hoping ( and may have found ) for something at about 15% of the asking price for the MP10's
 
This tank hopefully won't be set up for longer that 1-2 months.

Not sure if the Nero 3 pulsates
 
sicce voyager nano's put out a wide gentle flow, I use it in my 15 gallon
Yeah the 2000 model might be a great option for about $50.
Something I could use for a couple months and then not feel bad putting it on the shelf for the next.

Not sure what you mean by pulsate, but it's fully programmable. May not do very short pulses, but slower, variable pulses is what I have mine set to.

If you're looking for generating a standing wave, i'm not sure if the settings allow for it, but that at least didn't appear to be a requirement for the OP.
 
Hygger crossflow 12 watt is what I use in my 13g. Plenty of flow with a decent controller.
