Opinions wanted - upgrading return

[Oldsman]

hey everyone wanted your opinion. I have a biocube 32 , and wondering if I should upgrade the return pump or add a wave maker for better flow. The tank has lps and softies right now . I have a Hydor Koralia Nano 565 right now between the water intake slots , but thought about having more of a surging action would be better . Keeping it economical is key too
The return pump is the stock pump, but looking at the Mighty jet 538.
Thanks for any advice

Upgrade is happening all the time, the stock pump is really not adequate for a salt tank. The Hydor Seltz D DC 500gph is perfect for this and has a controller to adjust the flow.

Your welcome, you can also put a Hydor rotating water deflector on the return to improve the flow pattern. It rotates 360 degrees.

I have the random flow generator attached now
Debating about adding a programmable WaveMaker

The Aqamai KPs would work for you 370 to 1050 gph
