What wavemaker/powerhead are you using on your nanos?

[offthehook]

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.

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

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.

Why does the magnet need to be submersible? Are you intending to put it on the back wall of an AIO or something?

Yes Exactly.

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

I use the hygger 12w half gyre in my 20G

I use the hygger 12w half gyre in my 20G

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?

 

[dvgyfresh]

My pumps magnet is also submerged because of the AIO. Haven’t noticed anything bad and I look at it sometimes

 

[rtparty]

Tunze 6040. The magnets can be submersed with no issues

 

[Justfebreezeit]

Ok interesting. Maybe ill risk it and vacuum seal a small bag around it or something

 

[FrugalReeferJon]

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.
