Small powerhead for 12gal

[Cmoore]

Looking for a powerful and compact powerhead for my 12gal. Something that would not create a lot of heat and does not take up a lot of space. Any suggestions?

I use the 12v D.C. Pumps like this.
Like $3 on eBay.

They come with no external screws so reef safe.
Tucks into a corner pretty well.

I use mp10's on all my small tanks

Could you post a link to the ones you use?

mp10s are awesome, but would cost more than my whole setup.... not realistic for me unfortunately.

Generic pumps like Saltyfilmfolks recomended or probably Hydor 240, a little $.

I'd go for sicce voyager nano. Better mount and more adjustable than the koralia nanos.

$3 I also use them for ato. Modded a hob refugium with one and I have them in my 30g behind the rock too.

Thanks everyone for leading me in the right direction.

Depending on your setup and aquascape you may need more flow than you think. I have a 10 gallon with no skimmer and I run a Hydor 425 and a Hydor 240. One is pointed toward the water surface and the other towards the back where I needed additional flow.

Very true. That's is why I asked for a good recommendation on a powerhead that would not take up too much room. I think the flow I have now is not adequate.

Would this be a good option to create flow in a 10g QT setup in place of a powerhead? Looking for options For a 20g and 10g ST setup... thinking of just using the 20g for corals and possibly invert quarantine and the 10g for single small fish quarantine.

Jebao SW-2 is a small powerful pump with a wavemaker controller.

Yea should be ok. A couple of those and a HOB
