Calling out fellow 30g rimless cube owners for help

[superclown]

I love my 30g rimless 24x24x12 but one of the main issues I have is flow. I'm using a maxijet 1200 which IMO gives pretty good return rate and I have a mp10 on the back middle right of the wall in lagoon mode.

I can't really get the flow turned up any higher than about 60% without it kicking sand around but due to the 24x24 foot print I just can't seem to get a ideal flow throughout the entire tank

What would be my best solution ? I dont wanna clutter my tank up with more equipment but I need to do something if I expect to keep anything besides soft coral alive

A bigger return pump will give you all the flow you need

Can anyone recommend something with a small foot print budget friendly that is around what I probably need?

google mag pumps. they cost anywhere between 50-120 give or take and come in all different flow rates.

Yah I've had several mag pumps before probably look at a mag 3 or 5
