Wave maker for a 10 gallon tank

[mfinn]

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

Buy one used

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.

Hi Sven !

Jebao/jecod brand is perfect for this scenario.

Had a Hygger mini wavemaker in my 18 gallon tank. Was happy with it for the 2 years the tank was Running. Plenty of flow options. But I am not sure I can judge wide or straight flow, as it was the only powerhead I head until the Tunze now.

+1 on the hygger. I use the same on my 10 gallon and it's perfect. It has a few different settings for flow, and it's super affordable vs the mp10 and Nero 3, both which are overkill in my opinion

you could put one of those random diffusers on your return and see if that does it. low cost and no added heat.

I bought a different one, but just tested it out and I think it will be lacking. So I picked up this one.
