10 Gallon/Powerhead

I want to get a small powerhead for my 10 gallon reef. Which powerhead do you think I should get. I don't want to create a sandstorm, but I need more flow than just the filter.

Thanks.

A little Rio 50 might do alright.

Yeah, when your sand is flying everywhere, that is enough flow.

Re: 10 Gallon/Powerhead

At least with the sand in suspension you dont have to worry about cyano growing on it.
