I'm getting a little algae growth in the back corner of my tank. I'm thinking it's lack of water flow (it's just under my water output). I have a wave maker, but I think with the size of my LR, it still has a problem getting everywhere.

Where would be the best place to put the powerhead? The algae is on the back right side of my tank, so I was thinking of putting it on the left side of my tank, flowing behind my LR to that right corner.

Here is the pic of the algae

If I put it here, it will go right behind my LR and to the corner where the algae is.

Any ideas or sugestions would be great, thanks.

oh, I have a 12 gal. Thanks
 
How about right front so it can go across then to the side and around the rock? Or maybe another wavemaker
 
I can't put another wavemaker because I only have one water output. The wave maker snaps onto the water output. I'd rather not put it in the front (don't want to see it) so I was thinking the side. I'm just not sure which side.

Either side will work. I got mine on the left side. Haven't had any alge issues

a krolia nano may actually be too much. they do make smaller gph pupps and jets. the little 12v pumps Ive uses in 5g nanos work quite well too.
this kind, i use it on my atos as well. cheap on ebay.

The jebao rw-4 with the sl1 controller can get about 3 times ghp lower than the stock controller.
