Any suggestions on a compact wavemaker or powerhead for a 5 gallon marineland portrait tank? Have noticed a few spots with little flow...
 
I have a ponicspump 40 GPH in my sump that's not too powerful. I put a 240 in a 10 gallon and pointed it up into the corner but it still seems like too much. Maybe like an 80 gph?

I'd like to know as well. I put a spinstream on my return in my pico but I would also like more flow in the other direction. right now Jebao sw-2 seems like the smallest controllable powerhead but it would still be way too much.

I just let it run 24/7. The powerhead pushed water from left to right and the hang on back filter flowed from the rear of the tank toward the front. Between the two of them, I got really good, random flow.
 
Maybe a Jebao SW2 would work,I think the minimum flow is 156ish gph.

I had a RW4 in a 2g (12x6x6) tank and anything past the 2-3 power setting it wanted to push water out of the tank.

I tried a sw2 this week...even on lowest setting it was too much....my clown fish was killin it just to not get blown around.
