you could try adding another 300l/hr wavemaker..

i dont think there's another wavemaker with flowrate lower than the hydor nano (900l/hr)

alternatively if u feel that if the flowrate is too strong,

you can always direct the flow towards the glass to "reduce" the flowrate..

but like what jacky said,

shouldnt be a problem...

My Tunze reefpack return pump is 900lph. definitely not strong even for a 1ft cube.

and I believe the K nano has a wider flow. So absolutely no cause for concern.

Or you could just change your HOB filter to one with a higher flow rate...

Is the 900l/h based on full media? maybe not. yeah seems like the output is not as strong. k nano should be ok, better than the tunze nano. just to share, the mod that I had to do in my tunze nano to prevent sandstorms was to insert an additional plastic mesh between the output nozzle and the mesh cover, helping to reduce the output.

K-nano should be okay.

Take care now that you have an anemone, becuase if the wavemaker is too strong then the anemone will start moving around, then suddenly one morning you wake up and see you tank like a blended "mikshake" with the anemone being sucked into the wavemaker and then blended to bits. Of course your livestock will mostly go up lorry and then you have to restart again.

Please protect your wavemaker against accidently sucking in of the anemone. On websites, there will be several suggestions, please read through and consider before you regret.
