    Default Power head for 6 gallon?

    Hey guys!! So I am currently using a hydor koralia evo PH in my 6 gallon tank (185 gph, but can adjust for a slower flow). I've noticed some spots In my tank that accumilate debis ( stuff falling off rock/algae) that dont kick up into the water to get filtered out. Curious to see what kind of power head you guys are using

    Try a MP60 with a lot of reinforcement around the tank....JK...
    Just siphon that area out whenever you do a water change, you can't really add too much to a nano.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Check tunze's internal canister filters out, looks pretty sweet for a tiny tank.

    Is your tank an AIO(all in one)? I have a 14g biocube with a hydor koralia 425gph and stock return pump. No dead spots and I'm very happy with how flow is in the tank. You can try getting a bigger return pump like a cobalt MJ1200.

    I put a WP 10 in my 7.5G cube tank and it is working great! It's controllable and it only costs $46 on Amazon. It comes with the controller too. It's very small BTW.

    I have a WP-10 in my 20g long and love it. It creates excellent flow and there are almost no dead spots. However it only has 3 speed settings and even at the lowest setting its kind of too much flow for some of the softies. But I am focusing more on my SPS so I don't mind. For people looking for a new powerhead for a small tank, luckily Jebao has a new wavemaker that replaced the WP-10. Its the RW-4, and the speed settings go all the way down to 10%. Its also slightly smaller.
