Getting a 15 gallon IM just for overflow of frags and maybe a fish or two and curious for mixed reef what wavemakers are you using, I don’t want to blow everything away in that small space.
What wavemaker/powerhead are you using on your nanos?

I have had this Hygger Wave Maker for over a year. One of my better purchases.

Do you know if the external magnet can be submerged?

No, sorry I don't, but I will check it out when the lights come on.

Hygger Lite Wave Maker For 10-50 Gallons Aquarium Adjustable Circulation Pump with Magnetic Base Fish Tank DC Powerhead for Coral Reef and Freshwater Up to 792 GPH
Amazon product ASIN B0FVX1K6YC
Perfect for my 15G Hello Reef. Has many ways to move water. Has a timed feeding shut down button. Low profile. I like it a lot. The magnet is submerged in the sump. I have the power head on the back wall of the aquarium.

I have a IM 25g with an MP10 and Nero 3.
I think you should start with a price range, the if noise is a concern, then cables in the tank, and then you’ll narrow it down.
MP10 for no cables in tank, solid flow, controllable, quiet, but pricey
Nero 3 is solid flow, quiet, controllable, good price, but cable in tank
Reefwave 25 - Gyre pump, but lowest setting is probably too much for the 15g
Hygger - I only have experience with the mini, it was a good little pump, but wasn’t as quiet as the above pumps.
Tunze - Great pumps, last forever, cable in the tank, and I’m not sure on their smallest pumps flow rate

I run a Tunze 6040 in my 15 and a hygger 12 watt crossflow in my 13.

I wouldn't risk it. There is a seel, I don't trust seels.

Roger that. Thanks for looking. I need to add a 3rd wavemaker but need a submergible magnet. Not sure I have any options.

Yes Exactly.
I’ve had a good experience with Jebaos in my nano cube.

I use that one as well on my IM25 but I think it would be overwhelming on a 15 gallon.

Funny enough I tried the mini hygger and thought it was too powerful lol. Gyre at water surface pointed up works for me and I have it max power , granted I have an anemone guard on it

Does that back jebao have a submerged external magnet?
I’m sorry, the back one is actually a Sicce. But I took it out not too long ago and am just using two Jebaos. The back magnet of the Sicce was always above the water level when I was using it.
