Thankyou! Yes, how much flow varience does the unit have? I need something that can be turned down to very low flow for my seahorse tank.

The unit has adjustable flow from 400 l/h to 1850 l/h (they actually say you only realisticlly get 1100 l/h once you have media and hoses connected) , to control the flow all you need to do is press the up and down buttons on top of the unit, easy as. it also has a wavemaker function to simulate ocean current.
