When you say pump, can you elaborate? If 10g Nano, assuming no sump, so it’s not a return pump. Is it a AIO tank?

Or are you looking for Circulation pump recommendations?

What do you plan to keep?

 

[Celestialreefer]

Yes, a circulation pump. Currently have a 25-50 gal circ pump but it's too strong for my tank. Looking for something smaller

I have a Aqamai, it might be to strong for your needs, it is adjustable.

Just curious, how do you know it’s to strong? What are the dimensions of your tank?

I think you mean a return pump?

if so, I use a jecod 1200, quiet enough on the lowest setting, it’s dc so you can alter the flow.

I need a power head. I have an aqua top powerhead(25-50 gal). I have a 20l x 8w x 10h tank. It's an aqueon 10 gal tank

Sorry I meant I need a power head

I have an mp10 in a 14g. Maybe more than you want to spend.

you could go with a dc return pump, add a random flow generator, see how you go with that?

 

[dreamcatcherr9]

What’s your filtration? Maybe you don’t even need one?

I added a Sicce Syncra 2.0 and two random flow generators to my return line and I get great flow and don’t have any dead spots in my 32 gallon bio cube.
