after some research seems my return pump isnt just enough for coral flow. So trying to add circulation and this was one of the lowest gph i can find. Powerhead at 110 and it blows my tank around. Its still big and alot of power for 15g. Cant seem to find anything smaller. What are you guys running in your 15 or less nanos

I would recommend a Jebao SLW 10 (or maybe even a 5), it will provide wider flow (pushes more water without creating a jet) and is adjustable/can pulse. I have two tens in my 28g and it’s not too much even at full intensity.
