Circulation pumps and smaller tanks?

[N8sobes1216]

Hi all,
I was considering getting a circulation pump for my aquarium (FW) because my filter is on the left and things settle in the tank on the right side, this way I could push that water to the filter so it gets cleaned a little better, it's a 20g high. Any thoughts?

I was considering this, but thought the flow would be to much for my neon tetras. Not so?

I have the same concern! I have a small school of 4 and I don't want them getting thrown around the tank

It's all about how you position it. They should be fine. I use mine in the back corner opposite filter intake, aim it slightly downward and towards the front glass.

20-long, right? It doesn't blow the small fish around?

20 High, no its perfect, I have it in the corner opposite the filter aimed towards the center front, so that it all goes back over to the filter. It helps a lot with water quality, and the fish aren't bothered by it at all. I turn it off during feedings, but it's on all the time otherwise

Thanks, I may give this a try.
