Just setup a sea horse tank and the one thing I am having issues with is water flow. I cannot figure out what wave maker I can use with sea horses. I tried a Jebao but I lost a horse because it got sucked to the side of it and could not get off. That's when I learned the power head has to stop completely once in a while so the horse can free itself. My glass is too thick for a MP10. What do you guys recommend?

I currently use a nero 3 on my seahorse tank, along with a tidal 75. I've also used sicce voyager nano's in the past, but the nero 3 is pretty sweet.
 
I just use a oversized return pump with the flow devided in 2 but i will probably add a wavemaker from Tunze with protection on it soon because i feel like there is too little flow, right now i just have 2, 6 month old home bred horses in that particular tank but my other seahorse tanks just have one tunze wavemaker on each tank (no sump) with protection and been kept sucsessfully for 3 years now

I will add that the other seahorse tanks are just 120L (30gal) and the One with the teenagers are in a 280L (73 gal) cube with a sump
