Hello! My 20L tank currently relies on a hang-on filter pump for circulation. Seems to be enough flow for our Montipora and the Xenia is pulsing happily. More details on the tank in my tank thread. Question being, should I invest in a cheap tiny wavemaker and if so how powerful should it be? Weakest one I've seen is 3W, 2000L/hour.
 
Hygger makes a tiny little DC wavemaker with adjustable flow rates.

Sicce and Tunze also make nano wavemakers but they'll be continuous flow (which isn't bad just not the "new" thing).
